My 335is has 0 badges on the exterior, only BMW roundels. Widebody hellcat waved at me to do a pull with him. He really left with his tail between his legs after that one, didn't even talk to me at the end of the drive (was on a large group caravan to Monterey for car week). I also quite like surprising people.

Maybe drug money and poor taste, why would you put $100 tires on an M car?

Is this person related to the E63 6er person from the previous page? They both have that M Boss sticker in their window...and both are equally as bad.
