The hookers in the boot line is beyond stale now. By the way, it's Filipino (with an "F" rather than a "Ph" and one "p").

not M related but had a pretty good chuckle on this. Must be the new body style everyone is talking about.



they even got the plate to match the badge, so it must be legit.

Saw this one in Shanghai. There is nothing ///M about this X5 20i which is not even selling in NA market. The funny thing is he still has that 20i badge on the fender.

He should've left it alone. Looks clean if he just debadged it instead.

Exactly. I don't even mind the vinyl wrap roof. The badge just ruined it. Poser.

Actually we don't have a problem. Everybody else does. Trying to be something your not is LAME. The cars you just mentioned are not real M cars either.

I am not complaining just laughing. My wife is even in on the Joke.

I have no problem with M235s, M340s etc. Full respect for what those car are/will be.

I have no problem with a 428 wearing an M4 badge. They aren't doing anyone harm, I just have to laugh at them and their insecurity and poser lifestyle. Who know what else they do in their life to have to resort to lying to impress other drivers.

You miss the point. The m240, ECT... are legit.

An M4 badge on a 428 is not.

Fake

Apparently, seeing a 'fake' M induces laughter to some people, either in genuine amusement or in condescension. Not enough to just enjoy your own car, we have to police the brand and expose these poseurs too. Now that's hilariously small-minded. I come across many on the daily and can tell you, ironically, where I live, nobody gives a sh*t, and that's in a country where M3s cost $270k, so if anything, M owners here should be more riled up than anyone else in the world. Honestly, who cares? People can enjoy the car the way they prefer. I actually find some of the hideous 'builds' posted here more risible than the wannabes.

Poseurs deserve to be called out in all walks of life, not just fake M badges. Just be true to yourself.

The main reason I personally find fake M badges so amusing is just the irony in it. The vast majority of the public frankly don't know the difference between a 428, 440, or an M4. So the only people that would actually know the difference and theoretically be "impressed" by an M4 are the same people that know it's fake.

Yes - this is the main point. The people that recognize an M badge are the same people who can spot an imposter. For reference, here is my actual laundry set:

Fake? Or is it real? YOU be the judge.
