misbadging cars

Except the 325i Sport never got one on the front originally either.
It’s so endemic with BMW’s now I reckon that 99% of people just don’t care or notice.
The 325i Sport is a great car, arguably as worthy of an M badge as the M535i E28 but that’s still no excuse.
Would be sorely tempted to de-badge a genuine M car if I had one incase someone assumed I was the sort of tosser who would badge up a 520d.
If you are even remotely interested in cars a real M car stands out.
No badge required.
My second car at 18 years old was an e30 316 (1800 carburettor engine) I put a 'twin tailpipe' ANSA backbox on it and stuck a 325i badge in place of the 316 It’s so endemic with BMW’s now I reckon that 99% of people just don’t care or notice.

What fresh hell is this?
Take a relatively handsome recent BMW & add the lookalikey ugly grille from the new models,
‘Because it look like a new one innit’
No, it really doesn’t!

A performance Cabriolet as well lolCouldn’t get a pic as I was driving:
Range Rover L405 on the M25.
Old Rover style V8 badge on tailgate.
Now as much as I love the SDV8 Range Rover, and as much as I love the type face & whole late 60’s design aesthetic of the Rover V8 badge…
They were never used on any Range Rover.
IIRC they were only a P6 & MGB GT V8 thing. I have seen them on SD1 V8’s but not sure if that was an official thing.

They were fitted on the front wings of the later (1980 model-onwards) Series 1 3500s but only until the arrival of the Series 2 which didn't have them.Range Rover L405 on the M25.

Nice tenuous link there
Pininfarina's Bairo Canavese plant used for the StreetKa also built such exotics as the Ford Focus CC, the Mitsubishi Colt CZC and the Shogun Pinin.
