I say keep the badges to what ever the description of the car model is...unless of course you have a heavily modified show car. No badge is fine too...I actually find it hard to read them anyway unless you're right up next to it.

It's bad enough for a non-M car to have an M badge.


But a non-BMW?

What a douche. :thumbsdown:

good fun laughing about m-labelled bimmers that aren't "m" in any way.
still more fun seeing fords with m-emblems sticked, this is just so funny, i regret beeing in the us just 2-3 times a year we don't have such cars like that over here..

once a time i fancied about putting 516i or 520d badge on my car

i would love seeing porsches and others approaching my 516i labelled car from behind and ...

I saw a Toyota Corolla once with full gold plated Lexus badging. It had Lexus on the left, the L in the middle and LS400 on the right. Awesome!!

Hey, some of you might remember they used to make "BMW" conversion kits for the old Nissan Sentras complete with the kidney grills. Remember those????
