I'd probably take a picture then post it on a forum somewhere.

Hint hint

lol I'm pretty sure I know who it is but not sure if he knows me. I'll see what I can manage and know exactly what I'm gonna say.

Let's not jump to conclusions!
Maybe he got interrupted in the middle of a de-badging process, then just didn't have time to finish the job.

The city must have known it was a posers tag and permanently listed him as such.Is that a penalty for getting caught posing,it's like a ticket for improper equipment.I actually had an opportunity to see someone getting out of a fake m5 that got the quad exhaust ,m5 wheels,m5 badge and m5 license plate frame.The funny thing is he looked just like I thought he was going to.The reality of the situation is he has a good condition 528 that was nice anyway.Thats what I don't understand.

I'm not sure they are probably just as susceptible. I had a former boss who had a fake Alpina B7 on a 3 year old 750i platform. Didn't like fielding any questions about the car...he was a finance guy at a dealership I worked at when I used to sell cars. That should tell you all you need to know.

Ran into this beauty while in Dallas, TX...

Tewie · 04-16-2016, 08:36 PM

Today I saw an e92 3xxi in South San Francisco decked out in M3 badges and had some M3 style mods on it. Wish I had my phone on me to snap a pic! I would imagine it couldn't have been much more expensive to buy a '08 M3..

think this person got a X5M with the M badge in the wrong spot. they're also missing two tailpipes. I think they got gypped.... should really bring that up with their dealership.

I think he's trying to pose as a Mazda

Pinkoboe · 04-17-2016, 11:29 AM

Saw this one the other day. The saddest part (beside the c-pillar M logo) was that the car was actually a nice clean e46. The owner could be legitimately proud of owning a cool car, but decides to ruin it in an orgy of fake M logos.

And yes, that is a M logo on the mirror cap.

It's like throwing a bunch of magnets at the refrigerator.

Pretty simple. It's a Lexus RX350 Motorsport

I don't see an issue with having an M license plate cover. Especially on M sport models.

Right, that's the point. He was asking if it counts as a FAKE M car.

To contribute...no M badge, but, you know....

For one moment I really thought it was a civic. There's a civic (at least used to be) running and similar wing and a similar paint (just add a touch of orange to that yellow) around my area.

Yes. The only odd thing is that there's no TRD badge as well

Brah! 1990s is calling they want their badging back. TRD is for Donald Trump Murica...it's F-Sport these days for real performance Lexuses found at our local Bernie Sanders organic farmers market lots...

TRD is for the backwoods, redneck, counsin kissing redblooded Muricans driving lifted Tundra erosion and wifelife assault vehicles.

Saw one today. Altima driver pretending to be GTR Nismo. Come on!

This thread is "$o Much Win".

17 pages of evidences of people fooling no one but themselves...

Do they even realize??? Or this some sort of sleep walk?

I cannot find an explanation for this type of illness... They surely must be compensating for something else...

Until they open their eyes, Well i guess let them entertain us...

Does putting a ZCP badge on a non-ZCP M4 count?

I only wanted it because it's black.. not because it's ZCP lol
