I have an M logo on the back of my m sport car that's a genuine bmw badge. It's from the XM truck. The badge (black n gold) matches my black rims with gold rivets.

M6 or 640i with lowered suspension, muffler delete, bbs rims etc plus M Logo?
Oh my….

This is the fake badge thread.

I would say having a Turd badge on a turd is very appropriate and accurate badging.

Those versions of the RAV4 with the V6 were actually pretty quick.

True. But what makes even less sense is a 2-door flagship coupe being outpaced by an SUV almost 50% heavier. I guess...almost defies physics

I generally don’t care about fake badges, but I do enjoy the comments in this thread so I wanted to participate. This one had a for sale sign in the rear passenger window.

For those uninitiated, some people would actually believe that these are ///M Cars. So the saying goes, fake until you make it. Personally, I hate it but it's hard to except when the manufacturer is slapping ///M badges on all their cars as a marketing tool. You see these not only on BMW but Mercedes-AMG as well. I remember the days when you went to buy a badge, the dealership would ask for your registration to verify that you owned the vehicle, but now your can buy badges off of eBay. But those that know, knows!

At least this driver paid some attention to the badge placement. Pity about the eBay quality.

That's a nice X6 also. Looks brand new. Probably cost at least $80K and they're putting fake badges on it. Unbelievable

****Yea. This happens a lot with AMG Mercedes too. There are a couple of guys at the gym who have base model Benz cars, with AMG tag holders, AMG badging, etc.. but on cars that are clearly (for people that know..) not AMG type cars.

Fake it till ya make it I guess. I felt a bit bad for one fellow as I caught him checking my real AMG Benz out, looking at the Ceramic brakes, and the stock carbon splitter on the back, the nice sports seats, etc.. I have cameras on all of my cars and he left a nose print on my window!

WHY oh WHY could it not have been a hot Victoria Secret model looking in the window on a kinda coldish day leaving *two* oddly horizontally spaced circular marks on my windows!!!

Bah, probably only happens in Penthouse Forums stories for those of you old enough to know what that is.......

This is either a good clone or a real 1M with horrible decals.

I have no words for the decals either but the car is legit.

Although every one I ever read started out exactly the same:
"You're not going to believe this, and I never thought it would happen to me, but...."
