As !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! pointed out. Drivers in the UK love to put badges from more expensive trim levels onto their base diesels. So in celebration, I’ve brought back the BMW 5 Series with 10 fake badges including M stickers on the door handles.

My M3 doesn’t even have that many M badges, and BMW festooned mine with them.

It’s futile because people who care about cars are going to know enough to tell that it’s fake, and people who don’t care about cars aren’t going to know enough to be impressed by a fake badge.

I don’t think any M car has had as many badges as that 525d did.

If some mystical force offered me the answer to any question. The question wouldn’t be, are we alone in the universe, what is the meaning of life or is there a god. It would have to be why? Why do people do this because like you said, it seems so utterly pointless.

Probably until you open the door, drivers and passengers floor mats say M3 on them as well as the door sills, the steering wheel, tachometer, and gear knob all have an M on them.

When I was in the UK last spring, I saw a diesel 1-series with an M badge.

I don’t believe you...

It’s time to accept that “Fast Letters” don’t add the same kind of horsepower as actual stickers:

There might be a small percentage of the population that knows just enough to know what an M BMW is, and know that it costs more, but know enough to actually tell that it is fake.
Side note, I had an M badge on my Explorer, not cause I was trying to pretend it was something it wasn’t but because I thought it was funny. My non-M 1 series has 0 M badges on it, and I like it like that, the M3, well it’s an M3 so yeah it’s rocking one on the back.

HA. In fairness, most of the time I was in London I was struggling to learn swapped-side driving too much to do much car spotting. This would have been somewhere near Leicestershire, I think, when I’d just started heading for Northumberland.
That's gonna leave a mark!

I had an Indian takeaway delivered the other day and the driver was in a 15 year old silver Audi A4 diesel (sounded rough) an there were Audi badges everywhere front wing badge and logo, all door handles had badges, rear wing had a badge and side of the massive rear spoiler had a badge and logo. Th thing looked like sh1t.
It’s usually almost exclusively BMWs with M sport badges I see.
