Driving on I-55 South bound yesterday, I saw this guy in a 650i convertable stuck with me in heavy traffic. The guy had 22" chrome rims and one thing that pissed me off most: A V12 badge on the side fender.
I kept looking and getting pissed. So I decided to let him know next time the car comes next to his that those badges are false. In a few moments my loaner LCI 528i came side by side and i honked at him and he thought I was gonna compliment on his car, instead i rolled the window and said "this is not a V12, that badge isnt right" - he kept looking at me as he didnt understand a word I said. After that i thought he was probably driving a 645i (which of course is a nice car too), but badged it to a 650.
I had to do this, it was a matter of honesty!
