Fake Badges

Itrecinque · 08-26-2015, 08:56 PM

We spent a week in Eire, mostly Ulster and saw dozens of fake badges on diesels. Ms are gods - i.e. unattainable to most it seems over there - high taxes. Did not see a single F M3/M4 all week. Only saw 1 E46 M3. Roads are amazing though - a lot of legendary rally drivers come from Ulster and if you drive over there you will see why. I highly recommend it. We drove a rented Nissan 6MT Diesel, sheessh. Here are 2 of the many examples we saw.

The X5M50d is real M badge from factory. It's supposed to be the diesel's version of X5m. I wouldn't count that in this list.

I decided to get in on the act. This seems legit.

My wife walked up to a guy at the post office, saw him get out of his M328i. She asked him "if you wanna see what a M looks like, I'll let you see mine. It's the real one, parked next to yours".

She said he just had this blank stare, and turned back around.

Damn I love her.

Reminds me of seeing a women with 3 breasts as if 2 weren't enough.

Race_Doc11 · 09-12-2015, 07:46 PM

NickRac · 09-13-2015, 08:32 PM

Found this guy again so I pulled up next to him for a shot!

Can you spot the fake?

BEMR · 09-14-2015, 04:15 AM

Years ago I remember somebody manufactured a VOMET, it seemed to be from a cross between a Volkswagen and a Mercury Comet, it came in 6 pukey colors, weird!

BeMyWife · 09-23-2015, 12:07 AM

My badge is very large so that no one will mistake my car for anything other than the sheer power of the ///M

Besides, the OEM badge was very expensive
