misbadging cars

BMW do an e46 318 M Sport (as well as M Sport being a trim level on most other years/models), so not quite sure why an M sport badge would be 'misbadging'

No they didn't, by the time the Sport trim level was renamed M Sport the E46 saloon was out of production so the only M Sport E46's are Coupe's and Cabriolets.

Even if they did, i don't think they would have had 4 //M badges on them though It was just a basic 318 with some rather dodgy mods attempting to go for the "look at my M3" look - especially the 4 x 5" exhaust tips - not sure I remember an M3 looking like that

Bizarrely I saw an E60 5 Series with an M3 Badge on the back near Slough today. Ocassionally saw a bit of smoke from the exhaust so likely it was a 520d.

Why bother?

So essentially, you're saying:

"You are correct, they did make plenty of M Sport E46's, just not in 4-door saloons"

I'm not sure why you're seeking clarification of his very clear statement. If it'd been a coupe or carbiolet the poster would probably have said 318Ci.

He is very proud... thats him on the left checking his alloys for damage (while it's been parked?) so proud the name bad just isn't big enough!

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

Neither, would be my view if I'm honest

It's too niche to have it's own thread, but I'd say it's just "over badged"

Spotted this in San Jose whilst on a business trip...Just...Why?

Have seen 3 of the now common Chrysler Bentley 300C recently but today the 2 I saw together were

stretched Funeral transport.

The Hearse had a "client" in the back and was followed by the [empty] car for the family.

In Epsom BTW.

I couldn't possibly make my final journey in a mis badged car.

My final trip will be in an AMG. A genuine one, hopefully mapped to at least 700bhp.

It's taking me a while to find the funeral director, though I may leave it to others and stipulate it in my will. Not my problem then, though if it's not adhered to I'll be back to complain... Oh, hang on

Starting to see a hell of a lot of AMG diesels on the roads now

I noticed that too, they aren't offering the badge as a factory option are they?
