I dusted a fake X6M yesterday and the guy seemed surprised that his badge didn't give him the power to out accelerate me. I wasn't sure it was fake until I got home and confirmed, I didn't think BMW would put the M on the opposite side of the badge (regular X6 are on the left he had the M on the right).

What the? Is that? Did he? JFC. NOTHING posted in this thread from now on will ever be as morally and ethically fucked up as this monstrosity.

First is it even real? How the hell did this even happen?

Look i have a G82 and the front end is an acquired taste that goes down easier knowing what the car can do and how it is presented. It reminds me of the movie Twins. Arnold got all the good features. Danny got the shit. This is literally shit. You have ruined my appetite and any faith I had left in the human race is now gone.

I think those guys adding the stickers are running the JB4 - I've heard (from a bunch on this site) that it's better than having an M car.

What's people's thoughts on BMW 50th Anniversary badges on non Anniversary model year cars?
I only ask as I've noticed some on here putting them on non 2022 cars. Personally I think if they're gonna do that they may as well add some tri colour grill slat covers...or am I being to harsh
