Putting the //M badge automatically added 10hp to his/her car.

I saw on a China highway a 528i bearing a M5 badge. The Bimmer was the blandest white with tan interior. No mods and no effort at all to sport it up to anything reminiscent of a M5.

The worst part about it was that everyone in the car with me who was native to the country was completely charged up about spotting a M5. I tried explaining to them that it was just misrepresentation, but they just couldn't absorb how if it said M5 it couldn't be an M5.

I see so many fake ///Ms out here in Korea that if I took a picture of every single one, my camera would explode.
