not wih a B in the centre of it.. it's not a proper bentley badge i'll agree but just a very half arsed effort

This started out as a joke with a few friends with us mis badging our cars, but I haven't got round to removing it yet.

Get some strange reactions, one guy last week at the lights seemed genuinely angry, asked me to roll my window down and asked why I'd spend so much money tarting up a 316i to look like an m3, just save up and buy a proper one. Surprising how not car savvy the general public are, not once has anyone that has commented on it suggested to me that the e92 coupe was never available as a 316i.

Love that!!

If you're gonna have the badge, you might as well have the engine.

Spotted at a local dealer. The different sized tyres front to rear don't inspire confidence either.

Just noticed this - doesn't the sign in the second photo say "Trade in's welcome"?

qué?

It does appear that M badges on non-M BMWs are the worst offenders closely followed by RS badges on non-RS models.

What does that tell you?

Can I be forgiven for this...?



...and then this



I've grown up now and bought a Mercedes Hymer (without a AMG badge)

If you're going to rebadge a 118D, at least slap on a 130i badge and make it straight

He keeps it clean and doesn't store anything in the glovebox so it's basically as fast as a 123d.

Spotted this M135 while I'm not sure it fits in This thread or the badly modded one

[AlexRS2782]

Spotted in Frimey High Street this morning.

A red E46 318i with //M badges on the boot, front grille & above both side indicators.

Other tasteless modifications included the "M3" look exhaust setup with 4 x 5" exhaust tips sticking out of the standard 318i rear bumper and rolling on a set of knock-off M replica alloy wheels painted black, which were so badly kerbed it looked like they had a white rim
