A guy in a E93 328i with M3 badges all around the car (more than my actual m3 lmao) used the emergency lane to cut me off and then proceeded to flip me off. Not to mention, he had those hideous large non-oem "M" logos on the front grill. And we are the dicks right?

Has anyone seen a fake badge guy explain their thought proccess on doing all that shit to a 150 hp M-wannabe car?
I'm genuinely curious about the psychology behind it. These make overs must cost a shitload of money.

How can BMW be the worst offender when they are the ones that invented it, define it, and use it where they like? And this is not new at all - my 1987 325iS had ///M logos from the factory.

In year '18, the latest loaner, lease-friendly, pos 5 series refrigerator white hatch I drove had an M badge staring right back at me on the steering wheel. A super enterprising BMW marketer thought it'd be awesome to whore out the M brand to satiate the hunger of the masses who want a piece of the M pie. If we're going to make fun of people or try to aggrandize ourselves from ignorant folks who want to be a part of the M crew, then BMW is just as or even more complicit in feeding this idiotic lemming behavior. Perhaps we're the dumb ones for buying tarted up commuter sedans.

a little off topic, but related, I was confused as hell by this 440 on 101 near mountain view, sorry the picture is so blurry but it's the only one that shows the issue so cleary... can anyone explain this?

I assume you're talking about the one clean exhaust pipe... Many newer, dual exhaust cars have a valve in one that only opens up in times of need. Therefore, one pipe constantly gets dirty, while the other stays pristine.
