I'll say this though. Don't know if I have ever seen a street that clean and that smooth.

I'm seriously thinking those are humming bird roosts.

I'm a relative notice (not up to noticing wrong tailpipes yet). The guy did add the 50th anniversary M roundel. I think I would have fallen for it and kept on driving.

On that note: Why do so many on these forums seem to despise people who put those badges on their cars? Are people afraid it devaluates their own car if they own an actual M? Many here are tossing all kinds of M-accessories and M-parts on their cars and that seems to be no problem at all. M-style mirrorcaps, kidneygrills, bumpers, spoilers, exhaust-tips, wheels, steeringwheels, shiftknobs, carpets, pedals, you name it. I've even seen a dude on here that is transforming his 'normal' 335 or 340 completely to an M-lookalike, including hood, bumpers and fenders. Then it is all ah's and oh's. But if someone dares to put an M-badge on his/her car: "oh, the horror!". Why care so much? |

Point 2: although i personally agree with what you are saying, it is just ones opinion and a matter of taste, so debatable. But 3: i'm guessing than that everybody who 'complaints' about this, has not modified his/her car with M-parts in any way purely for aesthetic reasons? What I am trying to say is that in my opinion this is not that different from adding badges. (From a purist point of view.) |

Funny/ironic thing is I have M badges inside my x7 and externally on my iX. It’s not my fault though! |

And I agree, if it improves performance, why not? All i'm saying is if someone thinks their car will look better by adding/changing bits and parts, including badges, than why not either? And now you mentioned it, i see what you drive... |

And yet it's quite obvious that this particular owner cares little about appearance.
