People who put M Badges on standard BMW's

[boardinscotland]

Please help me understand this one.

As my girlfriend said for someone who doesn't know about cars then they won't be noticed and for those who do you know its not a M BMW so why. There is even a guy round here who has painted his grill in the M colours on a 320d.


Don't get it myself so can someone explain please.

In a similar vein, I once put the massive Triumph sticker (from the bonnet of a TR7 I think) on the bonnet of my Dolomite, I thought it was fabulous.....at the time.

(It was 32 years ago )

Oh, and have a read.

This has been my pet hate for years. An ex work colleague years back told me he had a M3 replica, all he'd done was stick M badges on the front and back of a totally standard 320 saloon. Took all my self control not to hit him.

Strangely I was speaking to my wife about this the other week, she couldn't work out why you'd do it either, her comment went along the lines of if I stick a Ferrari badge to the front of my car, it would still be a VW but people would laugh at me.

Off to find a ferrari badge for my barge
