Faking an "M"?

liverpoolfc · 06-05-2006, 03:51 PM

I saw a 1997 Honda civic coupe with BMW M Badge on it a while ago!

DeuceDeuce · 06-05-2006, 04:59 PM

I did see an early 90's Honda Prelude with Ferrari scuderia shields on the fenders. Never could stop laughing my ass off.

David328M-Sport · 06-05-2006, 05:50 PM

I wear an M cap driving my 325. Makes my car go faster!!!

PersonaNonGrata · 06-05-2006, 06:56 PM

Oh the horror. The M badge on a non-M car is a common occurence and the discussion of it equally as common. The disgust is understandable. M badges belong on M cars. That's it.

If you want to be really disgusted, there are many example of non-BMW cars badged as BMW's. that is the worst.

I've often thought about temporarily slapping a fake plastic M badge onto my own car (and intentionally crooked, no less!) and then snapping a photo of it just so I can watch all the small minded "enthusiasts" freak out about it.

No offense intended, of course.

To my E90 members, I'm sending this club a wire stating,

PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT ME AS A MEMBER.

Holy crap Nikki I had to look at that photo twice. The taillights, rear mesh grill and ridiculous spoiler made me think it was a riced out civic.

Good for you.

Kind of the like the E36 318i I saw in Kuwait once. It had an ///M badge and plastic side grills glued on the fenders. Priceless. Too bad I didnt have a camera phone or I could have shared the pleasure.

who are insecure about what they own so they pretend they have
something better, there is upgrade rebadging...

agreed....But great photo of your ride-Josh

Check this out. Honda Accord or BMW 745Li???

canucklion · 06-06-2006, 01:41 AM

ahnh77 · 10-25-2006, 01:04 PM

did you ever see the episode on 'pimp my ride' where they put a bmw m3 front on a ford escort...and a mercedez c240 rear....damn.....now that was some crazy mix and match....

but...yeah...i've seen honda accords with the m3 side gills....and m3 mirrors...and m3 badge...

Minipuck V 2.0 · 10-25-2006, 01:11 PM

i saw a 740i with a m badge on the other side. he was a old asian man. i thought it was pretty funny, but at the same time, i think its sad. it will always be a mystery why people put the m badge on their car when its not m.

i remember my friends in high school, use to want to put the m badge on other stuff, like accords and such. hopefully its just a retarded phase people go through before they realize what the heck it is they are doing.
