So it's a 320d? Wow. And yeah, very obvious for the photos it is the 'luxury' line. Would be interesting to see the front - would bet that it also has the M coloured stripes on the grille.

I think they took off the D when adding the //M. Couldn't fit it all on and keep it looking good!!!

Interesting, I thought Miami was only known for people not using their turn signals. Of course, BMW also has that reputation

Miami is a sunny place for shady people. Pretty much everything is fake there.. badges, people, butts (do not google Brazilian butt lift).

asking for someone who bought the X1 M35i that I originally ordered...

what if she puts the "M" badges on the left and right fenders? (which BMW deleted only for the US/Canada market) No, she's not anywhere near Florida.

But why? They were removed for a reason! Didn’t even consider it for my wife’s 240ix. They look out of place and the scale is off too - tiny M logo on a relatively enormous quarter panel.

As long as she starts spelling color as colour, she might get away with it.

The only thing that would have made that poser M 100% Miami would have been an accompanying video of that thing blasting through Brickell at 2am blowing stop lights while revving it’s exhaust deleted motor with the sound reverberating off the buildings as he raced a highlighter colored Lambo. Then wrecked!!! D Just saying...

Still fake because one had to go out of their way to buy something to add to a car that did not come with it.

The only type of fake badging (other than “down badging”) I think can be cool is when the car has a different name in another market, like the VW Bora.

All just my opinion, of course. Feel free to dress your car up as you wish. Just be cool when it gets posted/roasted here

I considered putting an AMG sticker on mine for shits and giggles, but it never seemed quite right)

Quite a picture you paint! But the 7 series doesn't quite fit in, does it? Although, I guess anything goes down here.

This is whole other level stuff! Dude incriminates himself by starting his own thread about how to fake badge a M Sport model. Epic fail!

And he says “I’m not trying to fake it”.

Same with all criminals who say they didn’t do it while posing in front of the evidence.

Oh boy...being sold by a dealership (Business name and number removed) and, no, this is NOT an LCI G12 ///M760, minus the "760"...

...and someone will buy it.
