misbadging cars
Discussion
The fake M5, that dealer (My next car) is just down the road from me, the biggest bunch of crooks going.
I called and arranged to look at a 10 plate GTR from them a few years back, it was clear it was damage/repaired but unregistered and badly at that just from the test drive.
When i pointed out the crease in the inner wing they got very upset and a whole load of their sales guys suddenly appeared stinking of weed and surrounded me and ushered me off the forecourt.
Remarkably they had the cheek to call me back a few hours later and offered me some silly low price to buy as it is.
I know of several people who have purchased cars from them, all with some kind of hidden history

Really odd mix of stock... Micra banger for £290 all the way up to a £170,000 Fezza. Seems to me like something fishy going on there, wonder if they also have a laundrumat business? .

B58 is the 3 litre straight-6 turbo engine found in the BMW *40i models.
MPPSK I’m guessing is the M Performance Pack exhaust?
M Power Performance Sound KlipMPPSK I’m guessing is the M Performance Pack exhaust?

According to Google it’s the M Performance Power and Sound Kit which is a remap and louder exhaust. It sounds like it’s the same map and exhaust that’s fitted to the M140i as standard but not to other models in the range with the same engine
Yep, that's the one. Takes it to around 360bhp / 500NM and includes a new cat back valved exhaust.All warrantied by BMW too - really looking forward to it.

Or Richard Porter thinks that if Mike Brewer can get in on TV presenting then he's going to get some car dealing action

They were good at dressing up a banger as I recall.
Terrible rep across various forums .
A fad I've noticed is to paint 3 strakes of the grille in the M Sport colours (which looks s
t btw). The most recent example of this was a 'M320d'. With a horrible, badly positioned 'carbon' M badge on the back. Just utter, utter ste!
I mean.....
A) do the drivers think it looks good?
B) do they think they are fooling anyone?
It just screams tackiness!
