Fake Badges

SocalBM · 04-04-2018, 01:53 PM

The ONLY people who understand what an "M" car is or who give a damn, are enthusiasts. And, enthusiasts will spot a fake every single time. Who are these people trying to fool? 99.9% of people on the road don't know and don't care about M or AMG, etc.

Well..there are those people who walk into a dealership and say:
hey..you see that 3 series? I want the most expensive one
....and they end up with an M, not knowing what it is

South Yarra, Melbourne.

It had the m stripes on the kidney grille too.

A coworker of mine used to have a Z4 M Coupe and some people went out of their way to say how he was a poser with his fake M badge because it wasn't in the right spot. Those cars had them on the left side from the factory so people were convinced it was a fake lol

That would be a statement, not an explanation. He said "it explains a lot".
