Caught the hidden M badge in front.

This guy must be forcefully taught what linear symmetry is!

Agree, if your going to add it at least read up a little on the spacing.

JustinHEMI · 08-16-2021, 12:52 PM

There are a lot of fake badges in Europe..., At least so far in the 3 days I've been bouncing around Belgium and Luxembourg. It would almost be easier to count non M badged cars.

That said, they get a lot of cool models we don't get in the states like small hatchbacks and wagons.

My first entry! You've all heard of the m760i.... but now here's an m 750!

Almuliman · 08-18-2021, 08:31 AM

It's the M Select 750iL, to give it its full due!

Is that even a real M badge? Can't tell if it's just reflections, but...

I will forgive this guy, at-least he has 400HP+ V8 however shiny fake decal from ebay is badly placed.

I don't know. Could be a 740 with a fake 750 and m badge.

Yep. Easy not seeing the wide hips of a proper M.

I think the term for that would be..... double fake

May not be fake but an M performance (baby M) I had the same badging from the factory on my M235

The 335 never had MP like the 235, only an M Sport trim and did not have any M badging.

This is the saddest thread on Bimmerpost.
