I am not sure where to post this... but look at this "M3" Sedan, spotted at the corner of Aerodrome Rd and Maud St, Maroochydore....

Only took it with the iphone, I should have my camera ready in the car next time for things like that..!

BBK · 06-04-2009, 05:56 AM

Maybe the dealer ripped him off? Haha...

That's sad......

Just think what a dick he would feel when a real E90 M3 pulls up next to him at the lights.

He probably stole the badge...

If I had the money I would buy one of these M3s. Only 3 coming to Australia.

Maybe there is something wrong with my eyes, but i dont see ///M3, only ///M, and that is totaly different! New cars with M equipment have had those optional since E30 and E28 here in Europe! Does not say its an ///M3.
Personaly I dont like it, and would not had any on my cars, but people are different.

(Even tho i have the ///M badge on the doos sills, steering wheel, gear knob, and winter rims as standard with my ///M package)

Piffle.....it's just cosmetic with no actual performance enhancements.

A M Badge where the model designation should only reserved for a M car. It would have been a lot worse if it had M3 on it!

A non-M car, having M badge on the parts is different the M on model-designation area.

Hey I have seen a BMW M badge on a Mazda 3.... I wish I had camera at the time!

BrokenVert · 06-04-2009, 10:45 AM

I saw a guy in a 528i non-sport with ///M5 badges all over his car the other night. I called him out on it and he called me the asshole because I didn't have an ///M badge on my car! I said ok and launched away from the light. Left the funniest expression on his face.

Some people are just posers.

Nice one AMK. You're a lucky, lucky b@st@rd!

Blacky · 06-04-2009, 09:14 PM

Man that is what I am trying to justify now, M3 Sedan.

Bloody $$$$$$

Too busy for the next two weeks, but after that I need to make some decisions.

Very very noice mate.. and Space Grey to boot..love that colour on the 3 series..

amk2912 · 06-04-2009, 09:47 PM

Thanks guys....everything just fell into place - right time, right car, right price etc. Besides a 30% tax break for business helps!

I'll still be hanging onto the 135i as now is not a good time to sell second hand. It'll be a bit squeezy with 3 cars in the garage but at worst the wife's car can sit outside!

RadiuM · 06-04-2009, 11:27 PM

can you get the M badge as an option on a 1 coupe? (is aus)

i've seen one around perth with the M badge on it, the other badge was removed so I had no idea from the back if it was a 125 or 135.

personally, if my 135 came with an M badge on the boot, id remove it as its not quite up to the standard

Can I ask, what is a right price?

if you're looking at the back of a debadged car, check the exhaust tips, the 135i ones are black where as the 125i ones are a matte silver colour.

In addition, the 135i doesn't have front fog lights.
