Had to snap a pic of this yesterday. As I mentioned in a previous post. It’s bad enough BMW slaps an M badge on models as a marking campaign, worse (in my opinion) when patrons do it themselves.

Buy it, don’t badge it!

I dont even know why people just add more badges, I always try to take them all or change to black ones to give a more stealth look

there was this silver Mercedes C43 AMG in Great Falls. It was obviously a fake.(C320 with AMG bodykit) But I guess the guy could get a pass because he had low number diplomatic license plates.(presumably with full immunity against everything)

Nah, no way. Australia as a ridiculous 'luxury car tax' such that any price over certain price makes the car stupidly expensive. The majority of newbie drivers in BMWs etc are hand-me-downs or parent's vehicle. This young buck probably thought their 3-series coupe is the fastest BMW ever so "hey this should also be an ///M". They will learn soon enough.

Sorry, but when it comes to BMW, they themselves are the one that put M badges on cars that shouldn't have them.

Heck, my 230i with the M-Sport package is every bit as deserving (or undeserving) to have them as the M240, M340 or heaven forbid the abomination that is the M235 Gran Coupe!

In fact mine came from the factory with an M badge in seven different locations. So they may have well just call it an M230i

No fake badges (yet) but this seller wins the prestigious award for "Most Clapped Out And Ruined F30"! I can't look at the bodykit without laughing.

LOL! Bless your heart. Wow, ever heard of a joke? Run to your safe space now…

Of course there are clowns in every place, that’s what makes this such a fun thread. We can all find examples locally to share.
