This is actually a fun one... they are E30 people with revolving builds I think they re-sell.
So they get it.

Was going to put 316i X2 M on my 3.2L e46 M3 for a joke.

Last three letters of the license plate say it all.

De-badged the M5 and thinking about re-badging the MF-250.

It’s “Gran Turismo”.

This is the hatchback F34. “Nice to meet you too”.

This is the fake badge thread. This isn’t it.

Well I stand corrected! I walked past and first thought “gran turismo”? Wth?
Then thought nah must be “grand touring” for the sedan model.
Shows how much I know! 🥴

I blame all people who put on fake badges for making us second guess every badge we see now.

I even looked at the placement of the Xdrive badge and I swear it is crooked as if it had been relocated.
Yeah no malice intended, just having fun.
I usually debadge my vehicles.
Hell, I debadged a 97 blazer back in the day.

Pro tip: I went to debadge my F150, but Ford had tabs on the back and fit into holes in the sheet metal. So don’t do it unless you are up for a patch n’ paint project.
