Good eye-- forgot to mention... Yep, the M5 bolt ons were are unpainted! And I'm sure the M5 badge was his next "mod"...

Couldn't grab pics but recently saw a stock late model A4 rebadged as S4 and an A7 rebadged as a RS7. Takes a special kind of person to jump two levels of fake badgery

Homeboy also went through the trouble of even getting the side gill fenders-- which were real so he had them taken off a real M5 and put on his 528i.
Hah I saw the same thing over the weekend on sunset blvd, but with a 3 series. I've never seen anyone put the side gill fenders until now, I thought I wouldn't see it again! LOL Nope! Thanks LA! LOL

I guess removing the "35i" makes it an M2...

I find that I just can't get worked up over other people putting "M" badges or "AMG" badges on cars that aren't Motorsport or AMG vehicles. Putting a badge on doesn't transform their car not does it have any impact on mine. The M3 has no real snob appeal at this point, and the only ones who know that there is a difference between an M3 and a 335i already know which is which.

True, but it is somewhat pitiful and in some cases highly amusing.

Wonder if his other car is an M. Reason I say this is because there was this rich kid I knew in college whose dad loved his M3 so much he put the badge on his beater truck so that others knew his other car was an M. Pretentious if you ask me (like those, "my other car is a Porsche" badges) but technically he wasn't lying? But he kind of was? Haha
