If they put the S in front of the Q5 at least they'd be closer lol.

LOL Funny read!

Aren't manufacturers adding these badges from the factory now to help sell vehicles?

Probably! I thought it was gonna be a high school or college kid... But the guy was like 40+ with a family...

nicknaz · 07-10-2015, 07:47 PM

I am thinking about replacing the M3 badge on my trunk with 320i

I guess that would count as a fake badge

I don't understand the ppl who can't be happy with what they have, why front? What is going thru the minds of these ppl as they are ordering their badges?? Loll it's like buying a collared shirt and stitching your own polo or Lacoste logo

I actually messed around on my M235i as well and removed the 35i and placed the m flower to.the 2, I enjoy the reactions. People who know about BMW know it's not an m2, people.who don't know about cars, who cares if they think it's an m2 or 235i

Agree, i saw some people had M badges on their BMW which are M Sport lines, i think this is what their M badges mean to them.

I saw this thread for the first time this past week ... fortunately, my wife shared this photo with me today. sad thing is I'm sure some people get fooled by this .. and probably even some salespeople.

Yea - this one is especially messed up.

But who knows? Maybe there is a great business in selling rebadged cars?!

probably some people out there thinking "I don't know what all the fuss is about with M3s"

BrewRifle · 07-15-2015, 12:49 PM

Saw an M 640i (yes with an ///M badge) today. Guy looked over and I shook my head at him.

Ashley Schaeffer BMW · 07-15-2015, 12:59 PM

I saw some clown with carbon fiber Akra exhaust tips on his oem exhaust.

SheaButter · 07-15-2015, 01:01 PM

Does this make me a poser for the day? My buddy said I could never drive a Honda for an entire day. So today I think I skirted a win...
