Fake Badges

TAZ007 · 01-10-2022, 09:06 AM

I feel if you're going to spend the money for the body kit, might as well spend it on the real car.

timothy2001 · 01-12-2022, 10:33 AM

At least have it match!

TAZ007 · 01-12-2022, 12:33 PM

Agreed.

He must be saving up for that driver side taillight tint.

Should I put a m badge on my f32 440i m performance? Any thoughts?

Then I found this car that someone had posted about on another forum:

I think it's better without an M badge.

I have a friend... he doesn't know shit about cars... but knows the competition version is "higher spec". And I KNOW if/when I order a G80 6MT non comp, he's going to make a comment along the lines of "didn't go for the competition spec huh", not realizing that the 6MT doesn't come in competition spec. So there's going to be this whole explanation on my end about how I specifically wanted the 6MT and that doesn't come in competition spec.

I'd still rather go through that conversation as opposed to slapping a fake badge on. Just don't get why people feel the need to do it.....

It's really simple. You both work hard for your money and its noone elses business how you spend it.

One of my friends put those stupid M colored grille slats on his wife's base model X5.

Another friend just got a base X3 and wants to do the same.

I'm just so over BMW owners, and that's part of why I didn't get another. Outside this forum, not a single BMW owner I know is actually a car enthusiast. They are all badge/brand enthusiasts. That explains why BMW has made many of the decisions it has over the past decade.

At least there's the M division. I'd definitely return to BMW with an M2.

Agree, but in a sense it is tasteful.
