From the package on the parcel shelf and the gold star on the C pillar I suspect this person also still has their Christmas lights strung on their house. These badges must have been a holiday gift. 🤶

Agreed. I don’t know what those stripes cost, but would rather spend the $ on some wheel spacers for that suv.

It seems to be some sort of north star logo or something that's on a compass. Lol.

^ someone please kill it. kill it with fire.

RobotDoctor · 06-14-2023, 12:29 PM

Forgive my ignorance but what exactly are the reasons anyone would pass a car off as an M when it isn't? I have a 440i F36 and I am satisfied with that. I don't feel the need to pass off my car as something it isn't. I suppose I am not feeling the need to compensate for something. Maybe being in my later 50s and living life has taught me I have nothing to prove. I am comfortable in my own skin ... and the skin of my base F36.

grannyknot · 06-14-2023, 03:25 PM

All it needs now are a couple of deer whistles glued to the fenders to complete the look.

Kowalski2011 · 06-14-2023, 04:16 PM

I had those things on a pick-up truck years ago and one day at the gas station this guy asks me 'hey, do those things work?' 'I dunno, haven't hit a deer since putting them on.'
