Another 1-of-1....lol, don't you agree, these are more humorous than not? Hey, at least it is not decked out in ///M decals.

Hopefully the US folks can access the site!

What if the Jeep was park there first??

What if it was? What difference would that make? The jeep didn’t take up 299 spots.

Well... BMW has bee, doing it for years... Not dissing the M235 (or Z4 40i)... Great cars, but nothing you can't achieve with aftermarket parts... The last real 'M' was the E30 M3.

Nothing wrong with that guy. Side skirts are an m performance aero or style enhancement. Literally no badges on the back.

So what? Is it now wrong to debadge a car? The side skirt is an m performance mod. The owner isn’t delusional that it’s an M. He’s embarrassed it’s a 4 cyl.

KurtsM5 · 06-11-2024, 08:41 AM

As in debadged to hide the fact it's a baby beemer with an ///M Performance sideskirt.
