Not a real M but it looks pretty close.

Man that took some effort. Still gets the “F” for failure. Great find!

I think I'll rebadge my G82 as a M430i

The 6's have dual exhaust.

Just saw a newer 330 with a fake badge. It just reminds me of why I want very little association with 95% of people who drive BMWs. They are badge/image enthusiasts not car enthusiasts.

Actual M drivers, Z4s, etc. it's another story. More traditional BMW clientele.

The M division doesn't do this on their cars, so why do people feel the need to make their lesser cars look tacky and try hard? You aren't fooling anyone.

One of my friends' wife got a new base model X5 last year and he immediately put that shyt on the grille. I called him out and he got butthurt, saying "no bro it's a clean look."

Not bad but I liked the M fridge better. A fast way to cool beer.

If real M's have 4 then 8 must be so much better.

It’s still a factory badge for that car.

why try and convince a community of individuals (some of which know the exterior of a BMW more intimately than their wives) your car is something other than the model you purchased?

Be a man, grab some fishing wire, de-badge that shit, and appreciate you own a BMW.
