Fake Badges

bmxcamel · 05-12-2024, 03:07 PM

Here’s a new one for me

smokinjoe64 · 05-12-2024, 04:49 PM

I believe this 'badging' is legit

RTPenland · 05-13-2024, 01:40 PM

I'll just put this here...

That actually looks like a pretty nice spec otherwise. Shame.

Nope, only acceptable on a Subaru.

murderspice · 05-21-2024, 07:40 AM

Paid for a 7; hes gonna get some “m” goddamit.

eman4517 · 05-26-2024, 12:44 PM

I see this Miata ///MPerformance, ///MX-5 often...

There's also this white F80 3 series with a full M3 emblem that I'm still trying to catch a picture of during my morning commute. So elusive. He's usually a car or so in front of me at a busy intersection, but turns off before I can catch a shot (maybe he saw me lol)... I'll catch 'em one of these days! 🤣

Yep, that, Thanks! I meant to say F30 trying to pass for an F80 (backspaced, cut & pasted).

Edit from my edit!😝

Not the spirit of this thread but stumbled across this ad for a 7-series and just had to post it here. Don't think there is actually a single panel without some gross M, Turbo, Limited Edition, V8, or BMW badge. The description is almost more cringey than the vehicle.

Hopefully the US folks can access the site!

What do you mean “not the spirit of this thread”? That may be the poster child for this thread.

Haha, not in the spirit, as in - I didn't capture it in the wild.

So glad to share this gem with others though. Did not even know such badges existed.

Not fake badge but this parking job irritates me even more. Can’t even blame the jeep driver because there were 300 other open spots.
