I like D4MJTs 
Probably wouldn’t do it myself, but it’d make me chuckle if I saw it... unlike this, which made me laugh, not in a good way... the mighty ///M 318d
Makes me think of this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQPma3D1-4c Probably wouldn’t do it myself, but it’d make me chuckle if I saw it... unlike this, which made me laugh, not in a good way... the mighty ///M 318d DoubleD said:
I dont own a BMW. But that is an M sport with an M sport badge on it. Its poor taste but is it mis badged?
M-sport is a trim level, any bmw can be specced as an m sport, 116d, 118d, 120d, 318d etc. These cars will not have m badges on the rear. M badged cars however are the performance variant of a particular model series, m2, m3, m4 etc. These do have badges on the rear.
To stick an badge on a 318d is to try and make it look like an m3, being of m-sport spec makes zero difference
I passed a ‘svr’ badged Range Rover sport the other day , wasn’t fast enough with my camera but it wasn’t an Svr. Wrong everything, from what I could tell it was a badged up 3.0 diesel.
He had his music pumping and was big timing it. I wasn’t in my car sadly and going opposite direction .

I know what M sport is. That car is an M sport (trim) and has an M sport badge on it. A M3 badge is different.
Maybe we should get an Aspergers badge for Double D. Although that wouldn't be misbadging would it. MWM3 said:

was this near Lichfield? I've seen a guy around there with a 3.0 diesel HSE (I know this as he has left the HSE and SDV6 badges on) but has stuck a load of SVR badges all over it too, he also drives like an absolute trumpetHe had his music pumping and was big timing it.

I also see a local guy with a 5 series e-drive thing or whatever the hybrid is called, he has stuck numerous M5 badges to it, going by the angry look on his face every time I see him I assume he either regrets putting the badges on or that they were just one of a long list of bad decisions he has made

I thought I saw a unicorn car last week... An ultra-rare (for good reason) AMG R63. The driver was wringing its neck but 1) I could hear engine but it wasn't a glorious V8 2) it was significantly slower than my E500 3) it didn't look right.
With it being such a rare car I had to look it up... 3l diesel. Bah.

Saw a nice, new golf r the other day. With a single rear tail pipe. The future theives of it may be slightly disappointed with the performance I suspect...
youre not up on just how grounded and planned thieves of high end cars are, are you? quick check underneath for the rear diff, yep this is an R or a look at the R embroidered into the front seat backs should be even more obvious of course they could find a car that some idiot has gone full R replica on with a 1.4 under the bonnet which would take some spotting in the dead of night.
