Closed, schmosed. It has sport mirrors!

Are those seat belts strapped to the front lip?

That may actually be a factory badge. The early G05's had the same badge on each fender.

Factory badges on M sport cars outside the US. Legit, but never liked the looks of it.

TAZ007 · 08-31-2021, 09:20 AM

Did they sport it up with black marks on the M?

Indeed, my point was it's either an M and not half an M..in other words an m

The worrying thing is though that this chap actually think this looks good. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that but wow!

Oh and one more thing! The owner could have at least colour coded the kidney grills and have each side matching!

Darn no rear photo to get a better look at the purple flowers it has strapped on.

I am afraid it’s not photoshopped. I wish I had taken photos of the rear and interior. I am sure there were some interesting things in there.

Probably best you didn't take more pics. It would have broken your camera.

I'm still trying to figure out how / to what the tow eyes are attached?

My 335is has 0 badges on the exterior, only BMW roundels. Widebody hellcat waved at me to do a pull with him. He really left with his tail between his legs after that one, didn't even talk to me at the end of the drive (was on a large group caravan to Monterey for car week). I also quite like surprising people.
