The Great Pretender

Clocked on M1 today, sorry about the crap pic, but here is what must be a 320d (single pipe) with a 330d badge and an M badge.

Chucked some soot out for sure, then left in my dust. Wouldnt happen to a real 330d.

An E90 poster??

Hey, look on the bright side; it's bling lovers like that who serve to make us de-badgers feel even better.

The driver of that car would be gutted if he knew he had (quite rightly) been publicly shamed on the Internet! hahaa

What a half-a-job dick.....if you go to the extent of a 330d badge, he should at least put twin pipes on as well

Glad you 'smoked' him Paul he he (get it )

Begs the question then, who are they trying to impress with all this mis-badging?

Those in the know, will laugh; those who aren't, don't care and wouldn't know what a 320/330 d or i is anyway.

Case in point:

My mum: I saw a nice BMW today.
Me: What sort was it? Did you see how many exhaust pipes it had?
My mum: It was blue.
Me: Ugh!

She has some pretty damned good eyesight to see my blue car from there. I'm only 400 miles west of the Mississippi River.
