This is a new one, kind of fake badges, but I thought it looked good.

Would have looked good if not for the BMW center caps.

Better with caps black or smoked but still not good mixed with Toyota.

I've seen several lower end ish BMW's badged up, so why not the other way around? and to another brand! Call it uhhh... Trans model automotive engineering or something to keep up with the times...

Yes yes, the license plate frame still says "M" but that's just as a signal to BMW owners that this car is not one to be trifled with!

Been done... Looooook!!!!!

To be fair, if I had a zupra I'd be tempted to change all the badging to BMW too. That's what it is. Toyota badges on those cars feels so weird. It's effectively a Z4 coupe

I think I'd feel weird having either badge on it, honestly. It's a Z4 for sure, but Toyota made quite a few changes to it, and the quirky styling is 100% Japanese.

Fooled me at first glance, not going to lie. 99% of the population will probably believe it. Is it really an M60i?

Its a X5 40i that the owner upbadged to an M60i. Tailpipes are a dead giveaway. M60i has 4 tips whereas this one has two. Hard to tell in the picture though.
