But the guy I saw driving on the M1 in Britlandia in a 114D short hatch... with an M badge? That’s audacity you just have to respect, man.

Its worse when they put stripes on too. Like a cracked out old 5 series with crooked M badges and stripes...

A man who buys an absolutely brand new 1-series turbodiesel is a man who could totally afford a used M3 of several generations ago, I would think. This was a public sighting, however of the hero Fuck Logic Man.

Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing.

I’ve always wanted an M5, E34 preferably but I’ll take an E39 in case I can’t find a good one, but I had the decency never to label my 525i as such; even with all of the Dinan parts it’s still no rocket, and I’m not going to fool anyone into thinking otherwise.
I have been tempted, however, to put an M5 badge on my other car, a Mazda5 6MT. I certainly won’t be trying to fool anyone into thinking that a Japanese mini-minivan is the equivalent of a German sports sedan, and with the frequent shortening of Mazda5 to M5 I think that I might be able to pull it off if for nothing other than shits and giggles.

The extra layer that makes this goofy is that there *is* a 1-series M. It’s not a hatch, though, and since he left the ordinary badges in place... still, BMW made part of the joke for him.

It’s only cool if you do it the other way round. A friend of mine was working as a mechanic at an Opel dealership in the late 90s. He once started a Vectra with a 1.6i badge and wondered where the V6 sound came from. That takes some real cojones, getting mocked for your entry level 4-pot until you can show them what’s what. Fake M/AMG/Alpina/Brabus badges are soooooo old. People who know what they are about will dismiss you within a split second, and people who don’t know won’t care. Why bother?

I wouldn’t have said the badge being on a 1-series diesel was cool per se, but I’m impressed (in light of the things you bring up) that somebody would go to that extreme. A 1-series diesel hatch being possibly the least traditionally sporting-styled BMW ever to exist, the blatantness is just remarkable.
