Last pic is the best of all.

Is that a hot air induction system? Also, what is that BMW thing behind the bumper between the exhaust tips.

Not sure its a fake badge M5, but it may still need be to rescued.

Nevermind. I see the side markers below the side grills. It is a fake

I really am dying to know what that thing actually is ... some sort of Frankenstein 540i E60 V8? Or is it a 525i? definitely not an e60 m5..

Edit: doesn't look like a V8 based on the one valve cover

It's most likely a N52. Jesus wtf are these people doing

LOL ricers going nuts this days:

I know it is not M related, but seriously? Just clean the badge and license plate?

Some people's children...

That is the intake manifold cover off the N52 used as a bumper grill. Pretty creative.

Maybe he was driving drunk and didn't want to get pulled over for something frivolous like an unreadable plate/reg... lol

*Flashbacks to a few years ago* Was driving my moms Honda, her license plate had a bit of paint missing in the middle, but nothing that would make it whatsoever hard to read the plate. Got threatened with a ticket, got the plates changed the next day, and ever since then I get very annoyed when I see cars with no reflective paint left on their plate.

Two in less than 48 hrs

The black X5 was at a dealership, and an employee even said the customer insisted on ordering the badge because it's an m sport

I don't know much on the X cars, but isn't an X5M a thing? Fancy SRT Jeep effectively?

It is a thing, if you got the right model and not be like these two clowns by slapping on the M badge

X5/6M have quad tip exhaust like the M3 so its more so in the middle rather than the outside like the M5/M6

Trying to fool us into thinking he had a 335i.

Nice M4. Who's your target audience again - those who don't know what an M4 is or those who do and won't be fooled by a badge alone?

The C350 AMG with the Bluetech emblems on the fenders

What's sad is what about the people who don't know better and bought the car with the fake badges installed?
