that's why we live in america foo. we can afford to drive cars we really like. lol

He misses the entire point.

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY.

It's about being fake, and a liar.

But I am glad to see that F80 forum has similar clownery as the E90 forum!

I see more than just wannabe M cars in here... wannabe AMGs, etc... i think its funny what people will do to acknowledge expensive branding, so much that BMW is taking notice to cash in on the public perception of M.

Let's face it, to an enthusiast these markings signify the car manufacturers enthusiasm and we strive to achieve the highest form of it. It does require money, and wannabes are easy to spot like anything else that's publicly desirable.

Pound for pound a 340i m-sport is not the same car as a M3, and begs the question "why didn't you just get the car BMW made for enthusiasts" if both owners are enthusiasts = Money

This thread is simply a spectacle of those facts, and hilarious.

Now that's a scrapper!!!

I see these around all the time. It's funny, because there's no longer really a age correlation or certain stereotype that can be associated to people who put fake/incorrect badges on their cars.

M-Pilot · 08-22-2016, 03:29 PM

Saw this one today, a 328i trying to be an M3...

Dude joined the forum just to talk shit...it's not that serious.

It might be... but the badge isn't in the right area.

The mirror looks wrong too.

Good call. I think you're probably right about the mirrors.

Almost there

Still could be. maybe he/she got in a accident, repainted, slapped the badge back on and couldn't find legit mirrors. I didn't get out and examine it, but the mirrors tipped me off.

I do find it funny putting a "cheaper" badge on a higher-end car, like this Bentley with a Hyundai badge. Although a VW badge would've been funnier

About a year late here...but where did you see this car?! Has to be the same one Ive seen in West Hollywood. Has some other Hyundai accents on there somewhere too, if I remember correctly.

lmao it was a small older blonde woman, I bet she was clueless and her man has her thinking she's driving something special

Didn't get a pic in time but saw a white M4 pass me, quick glance thought something was off and then saw just two tail pipes on the left. Why?????
