People who put M Badges on standard BMW's
Discussion
This has been covered to the death in the M power forum.
IMO some folk want to show their car is an M Sport - no harm in that. Those who put M3 badges and the like on their cars really can't know much about cars for we all know that those who do, would know that said car isn't an 'M Car' and those who don't...well, they probably wouldn't know what it means anyway.

I ticked the "model designation delete" option as it is called for my M3. Along with "delete rear lip spoiler".
Cleaner looking car and no dirt traps. Not seen another one yet without the rear lip spoiler.
I put the carbon lip spoiler on hahaha,Cleaner looking car and no dirt traps. Not seen another one yet without the rear lip spoiler.
I can understand the snobbery behind M3/M5 drivers but they have a valid point.
You pay for the car and knowing it a M3, you don't want to then see down the road some t
t in his 320d with a M badge on it.BMW for me should have followed audi instead of a S3 you got a S-line A3. BMW should have made there on version.

I know what you mean. I've got a Casio FX-991MS calculator and the bloke at the next desk has a cheap Chinese copy of it, it really upsets me when people think he's got the same as me.I can understand the snobbery behind M3/M5 drivers but they have a valid point.

I recon I've seen more mercs with AMG badges than beemers badged up. It doesn't bother me one bit, but I don't own a bmw. If I had an M power (but why should I down grade) then I would probably think tosser everytime I seen an M power wanabee.
Audi are amongst the worst offenders.2.0tdi TT with an RS rear spoiler are common place.
Aeverthing in Sline on 20 inch rotors.
But rebadging seems low.

I have a Cubot P9 android phone that is a Ebay £60 copy of something WAY more expensive and it really annoys the crap out of my colleagues, particularly as it works better and faster than their Samsung phones! Mine also included a spare battery, three backs and 16GB in the price. I think some of you need counselling if you get upset by a car badge. In my day it was called customising, with GT badges and Rostyle wheels on everything mostly acquired via the local breakers yard.
Maybe its attributed to the fact that cars cost so much and buying an M is really more about showing the other guy that you are much better off financially than what the car can do on a track.. Go on admit it!!
Nowt wrong with replicas, it shows that people are interested and may ultimately acquire a real one one day. Seen a few well sorted replicas in my time, no problem with them (Viva GT, Cooper S, XR2, Mexico, Twincam, Lotus Cortina, Cosworth Sierra etc.etc..)

does that not mean its a TT spoiler which is standard on the RS model and an option on the rest of the range? Just playing devils advocate.2.0tdi TT with an RS rear spoiler are common place.

There was a guy used to go about Inverness with a Chrysler 300C where every badge, wheeltrim centres, steering wheel centre and gear knob had been replaced with Bentley items, I mentioned it to his wife one day and she just shook her head and said dont ask.
I remember seeing that about too, not in ages thoughGassing Station | Scotland | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
