If like me, I drive an M5 because I know what it can do, how it sounds and more importantly how it makes me feel every time I hit the loud pedal something a rebadged 5 whatever is never going to do, but if it does for them, great, hope they get as much enjoyment out their ride as I do.

I once wore a T shirt that said "Stud" on it. Did I aspire to be one? Am I one? Nope it was all that was pressed in the cupboard and I couldn't be bothered Ironing anything else. Oh and answer to the question, hell yeah on both counts lol. (As to the reason I had it, don't ask, it was a prezzie).

Say what you will, but I would never be friends with someone who would put fake badges on their car. No way they would be a quality individual. I like authentic people.

.......
pause
........t
hen look at him and pointed to my car
..........
and I just Smilled and he Smillled and ask,
is that an M5?
I replied
Yes Sir!

he goes around the Car and tells me,
theres No Emblem of M5!

I said, thats the Beauty of it, I wouldn't want everyone to know its an M5 not unless you really know the car and sound of V8TT,
then we just smilled and laugh.

Did you ever consider taking English 101?

Jay-K · 06-10-2015, 09:47 PM

I feel weird having my M5 without emblem waiting for the iND ones..

I'm not sure but if they really need or like M car, the well equipped 535 or base 640i is almost the same price of M3/M4.... they can switch

The worst re-badge I ever saw was an X3 //M.

You took the words right out of my mouth!! Real car guys know its fake....people who are cluless just see a BMW anyway. Who are you really fooling?!?

Were you driving your M5 when you pulled up on this idiot?!? I was driving mine and my boy Mike was following in his M6 GC and we pulled up at a light with some guy in a Fake M5 and he refused to even look at us and he knew we were right next to him!

David 12 · 06-13-2015, 08:05 AM

Would anyone dare try to drive a fake M4?

No. Was in my wife's car...

steveM5-UK · 06-13-2015, 01:33 PM

I can see where everyone is coming from on this, but also consider BMW themselves, surely they are diluting the brand (M) themselves.

Take a 5 series M Sport, it has more M badges on it now that an actual M car

Personal it does not bother me, in fact it makes me smile. Aspiration is a fantastic thing, if adding the badge gives them some comfort then what the hell.

A question though, do we all also hate people wearing and M skip cap will driving their Skoda or is that okay lol

xiljustin · 06-13-2015, 09:37 PM

Damn, I was at Starbucks the other day and saw an F10 528 with the M5 badge. I regret not snapping a photo!
