Hey there, was driving up in BC, when I saw this car, and couldn't resist snapping a pic!
It must be a new model BMW is testing around town!
Pretty sad though there are posers like this guy driving around, giving BMW drivers a bad name.

Too funny!.....there was another F10 posted here several months ago that had an "M" badge also. (I guess, however, if it has the "M Sport" package like the car above, there might be some justification....after all, there is a "M" logo on the steering wheel).
It's not always BMW owners, however.....I sometimes see Mercedes that have "AMG" badges on it when it's clearly not the case (i.e. "AMG C300" or "AMG E550").

The M Sport package has been available in the US since January.
I'm not sure about anywhere else.
The real F10 M car will probably be available by the end of this year or early next year as a 2012 model.

yes thats right, most Mercedes that have AMG kit and wheel have the "AMG" badges. my dads 2010 S500 with amg wheels and body kit has the "AMG" badge. if I had that bmw I would def. take off the M logo, it looks so stupid

Yeah but in my opinion, if it's not a C63, E63, S63 or CL63, etc., it really shouldn't have an "AMG" badge....I think it cheapens the limited edition true AMG's. But I guess you can't stop some owners and enthusiastic car dealers from slapping it on the cars anyways.
