People who have been around for a while would likely know the difference but others and newcomers wouldn't necessarily know the difference and they likely wouldn't care. All of the poser ItsGary users might start posting uniformed or outlandish things and before you know it, the original ItsGary, although decidedly different and original, would just be roped in and lost in the mess of random indecipherable ItsGary names floating around.
A bunch of fake Garys running around? That would end in disaster

I was just about to post this. It doesn't end at the badge though. The M stripe front grill gets sorted out as well!

Unfortunately, the second picture is not fake. BMW puts those little M badges on the front fenders of M sport package 3 & 4 series cars.

True. But it's still fake in my book

Came across this "M5" that looks suspiciously like an F01 7-series

A friend of mine, who's not a huge car guy but knows I love my ///M, just texted me this photo thinking it was equivalent to a proper M. Needless to say I proceeded to explain how that car isn't exciting, while a real M8 would be, and that yes there is a difference.

This is the "problem" with BMW putting fake badges on their own damn cars.

Another imposter.... not so much a badge in this one though.

Think it's just as bad if not worse, because of the efforts that went into this vs slapping a badge on it...
