Lol I like that badging. It's a Holden underneath.

This is a legit Holden badge (Minus the SS) - that's how they're labeled in Australia

Ahh the 4 door vette that is very understated on style. Love these
the ss is valid as well. Holden Commodore SS V Redline

I didn’t see the front, but I could see that it was LHD, so not an import. Thought the badge was a Caddy V though, interesting.

Wish they kept the SS around. Be nice to have at least ONE 6MT sports sedan alternative to the M3 to choose from if I ever get bored of BMW.

Yes. Chevy SS. its a rebadged Holden Commodore SS V for the states. This owner knows their origin and is playing into it by rebadging it back to holden on the outside. They are pretty rare to see since no one bought them.

You could get them with the Holden badges here in the US if you ordered it from the factory. It was a $75 option if I remember correctly from their online configurator. I briefly toyed with the idea of getting an SS instead of my M3.

That's awesome. Australians have such great sense of humor.

I didn't get a picture, but that look the dude and his bro sitting in the M-performance catalogue 428, M hat and all, gives you when you pull in to the Dunkin Donuts. So good. Sealed the deal with a wheel spin attempt on exit.

Aaaaaaaaa · 06-06-2018, 01:39 PM

Couldn't get a pic but pretty sure I saw a E60 528i rebadged as a 550i. I mean at least the guy had the wherewithal to not use a M5 badge but really? Are people that concerned about appearances to go through the effort to rebadge just to a higher model?

What made you think it was a 528i?

The aluminum foil trim really compliments the shine on that eBay ///M badge.

PshhhhhMW · 06-06-2018, 02:36 PM

If I replace my m badge with a 320i will I be on this thread

Rear bumper treatment and exhausts clearly did not look like a 550i. Wheels too.

So many fake badges in Cali. Guess it makes sense

I see this piece of art in my kids school parking lot every day

At least there wasn't a badge...

What's wrong with pre lci F10 m sport 550i or 535i with quad exhaust tips?
