Fake Badges

Halcyon819 · 10-19-2015, 08:36 PM

I have my F80 for ED in Nov, my first BMW, so new to the scene. Spotted this a few minutes ago, fake?

GFK007 · 10-19-2015, 10:33 PM

This guy makes me nuts. Spent over 100k on a car and be insecure enough to rebadge it and pretend it's something it clearly isn't...

I think this could actually be real. At least here in Germany Mercedes offers a so called business package for certain AMG models which includes a standard back with standard tailpipes so you're not that big of a show off when arriving at business meetings

I have seen so many CLK AMG's with single duel exhaust around Orange County I can't tell if there legit or not anymore? First a convertible CLK 55 then a convertible CLK 63. I guess that is the way it is in the OC. I might put one on my car? M3 AMG! If legit my bad.

LOL he must have been so angry that you actually have a real M car lol

whats up with these drivers that drive cars with fake badges, everytime i see one on the road they're either trying to cut me off or drive like douchbags. must have big time ego problems.
good thing ive learned not to waste my time trying to prove to them what a real M car can do to their car lol.

Wonder how much BMW makes for selling extra M badge yearly

Recently driving downtown area and saw nice looking potential E92ish looking car. Red, tint, CF bits and pieces, and nicely appointed tires and wheels. As it past, it was badge-less and had a double, lower left exhaust. Just like great movie makers who are good at their craft, this owner left a little to the imagination by keeping the badges off. Couldn't help but give em a bit of respect for his efforts.

SaMaster14 · 11-26-2015, 04:34 PM

I've seen worse... re-badged 535i as M5 with HORRIBLE wheels

ThomasM4 · 11-26-2015, 05:06 PM

Smh, I just don't understand why people do this. Don't they feel dumb when a real M rolls by? Surely they know we're not fooled...

This is a very odd reality... that someone who doesnt know what an M car is... really wont care... someone who does, will immediately spot the fake lol... this isnt a ferrari, i completely dotn understand.
