fraternal order of police.

it's a way for the police officers' unions to raise money by selling badges that people think will get them out of speeding tickets if the badges are displayed on cars.

I've always wondered if FOP badges work.

50/50 proposition unless you have a real badge to back it up; and then only most of the time.

Ahhhh...Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Not a BMW, but something (*cough* *cough* tires and exhaust) tells me this is NOT a Trackhawk. Pretty much confirmed when the car started up...

Edit: a buddy corrected me and apparently this is a "Trailhawk" and is legit - Jeep used the same badge but changed the name for this more off-roady (but base model?) Car

WRT the Mini, just because its' made by BMW doesn't mean it gets the badge.

Beautiful car.
Great wheels, stance, rear diffuser.

I would fully debadge car for the CLEAN look consistent with everything else you have.

Or

Put proper M badges on it as it is an M5.

Either way, nice ride. Tasteful Clean Mods.

Next level Mad Max status. I’d love to crack a joke but I can’t find anything funny. Clipped from WSHH, wasn’t able to post the video. Please remove if inappropriate.

Interesting "Technical". For the discerning rebel force.

Can’t imagine if the machine guns were operated by the idrive system!

Saw a portimao blue M340i in Orland park, IL sometime last week. Car looked pretty good except it had a black M3 badge (placed below the rear right taillight). It was an M340i and not an M3/4. I couldn't take a pic as the lights turned green just as I reached it and it turned left. But yes. A nice car screwed up by shitty badging. Haha.

What's horrible is putting incorrect badges on your car.

Vandalism is totally different than someone putting a fake badge on their own car!
