AIRPOWER · 04-04-2016, 12:26 PM

Saw this today, I was sitting behind him in traffic and didn't notice the ///M until it was almost too late to take a picture. Made me laugh though.

Only if you park another one "nose to nose" with this one. Then you have 12 cylinders.

Fake it till you make it right? Can't blame these guys...

Laugh it all off but the most shameful fakers of all is ... bmw !!
With their dillution of the M motorsport branch purposefully confusing the market with M235i, X5M, X4M when it should be exclusively reserved to M cars.

No other brand does this kind of sh|t, and so i declare to the top price of Shame goes to : BMW MARKETING.

So, the 2.0T and 3.0T being supercharged isn't confusing after years of the T standing for turbo?

If I had the time to, I'd love to prove you even more wrong about branding/marketing/etc...but, it's pointless.

Lexus has F sport, to name one.

There's no X4 M (unless you mean the X4 M40i) which isn't the same as an X5 M in terms of dilution since it's actually an M model.

So true. Hard to find a new car at the dealer without a little M logo (or many) somewhere...

Sure they do. Audi sells "S Line" versions of their normal A6 (it has upgrades), Cadillac sells "V Sport" versions of the CTS, and Lexus has their "F-Sport" range of cars as well.

I think F-sport (Pre RCF, GSF) from Lexus is better received than M-Sport from BMW. It appears that everybody in the Lexus community understands that a GS350 F sport is nothing like the now-GSF. However, a large mass of people (new-comers mostly) can't get past that their 335i M-sport =/= M3. It's understood that F-sport is merely an appearance package with slight differences (mostly aesthetic), no why BMW owners can't understand why M-sport =/= M, that I'll never figure out...

ksa · 04-06-2016, 11:14 AM

EVEN AMG is doing that now actually...so it's just not M....they might have started the trend though, not sure.

Chewbaccam · 04-06-2016, 11:26 AM

Rolled by a 328i that replaced it's badge with and M3 one. Pretty funny stuff. He saw me at the red light and looked a little embarrassed.

Is this the collective "let's put other people down" thread where you can feel better about your actions with like-minded others?

I think your confused.... It's about people shamelessly badging their cars to represent something it's not! Most of us find it amusing, entertaining or just down right funny. I know none of these pics have made me feel better about myself in any way! Lol but I do find some of them funny as hell...

This is the ultra super amazingly rare BMW M650iXSportiDrive model with the custom made Pontiac Super/Turbocharged V14 with the sport package that adds an additional 10000hp.

You're SO lucky you saw this bro.

I like how the roundel isn't even centered with the trunk lock... I mean they're almost touching

I'd love to know what was going through his head when he decided to put them on.

Also love to know what his reaction is when people ask him why he has BMW logos on a Pontiac lol
