Fake BMW M5's

siralfalot

a girl in the office next door has an Quattro kitted A4 with an "S4" badge on one side of the bootlid and "1.9TDI" on the other :rolleyes:

although I also know a guy who drives an Alfa 156 with the 3.8l V6 conversion done, and he has "1.6 T-Spark" badges on the back :cool:

He's got class

..... I saw this in traffic recently and laughed my ass off!!!



Sorry for the dodgy quality but it was the rain on my windscreen (god bless Irish weather)....

Why do people insist on putting badges on their cars that have NO relevance!??

I suppose this is one of a kind.... Can't ever remember seeing an "M Power, Turbo V6, Fiat Punto SX" before... lol


**The reg plate has been blanked out, but I really think this idiot should be named and shamed!

If you've bought a BM with the M-tech kit thats fine, but like other posters here, i dont get the whole fake "M5/M3" badging mullarkey. There a young fella round these parts driving a mid 90s 3 series (dunno the model classification Exx?) with the side vents from the outgoing M3 cut and pasted into his front wings...

why,o why,o why...

Theres one I often see with the badge and even with a prebooked 07 XX 55 reg
Aside from the other tell-tale signs, a quick check on cartell reveals its a 520

€11,500 for a 1996 LHD 528???? Nuts!

I can't see the interior rear view mirror; is it rectangular or oval?

Could be riddled with Nikasil issues as well!

Too right and it is not an M5 interior, plus, it's an auto :rolleyes:

You would have thought he would have closed the full ashtray for the photo

Seen about 20 million A4 TDIs badged as RS4s too.. if I ever am in the opportunity to "talk" to one of these idiots getting out of said "RS4"..

Took the words right out of my... hands.Saw one today with the badge, and a big diesel roar out of it. Muttered spa, as I cycled past. Think he heard me too, which is always good.

Haha, class act - is it a red one with a bit of AD 3.7 treatment? :cool:

While we're on the subject, how about a BMW 316i CSL

You'd think after going to the trouble of getting a CLS rear boot that he would have not bothered putting the 316i badge back on.

colm_mcm

is it actually a 316, or is the owner being modest?

unkel

I'd pay money for a genuine looking 718i badge

Seth Brundle

I know of someone who had an E34 M5 and put on a 520i badge after his previous E34 M5 was robbed and dumped on the M50.

Could you make one up using parts of a 3er badge? could be fun

Probably could. I could buy this and this on fleabay and get my 718i combination

bazz26

Might be easier to make up a 718i badge from a 118i though.

Hey why do things by half measures, how about a 716i //M Alpina?

It looks like the letters come separately so any combination will do, although the fonts might be slightly different?

I don't particularly like //M or Alpina badges and 716 is just taking the mickey. Maybe 720i would be best. Or is 720d more credible?

No, that's a standard 5 series, this is the M pack.

Well done, but it's a pity you didn't happen to wedge his head in the door of his diesel A4 and slam it a few times too.
For some reason the A4 one really bugs me. And it's ALWAYS a tdi, never anyone with a petrol. I reckon it's cause the farmer boys who drive them think "Shur they're massive powerful... a pure animal... the RS4 is probably slower".
All it's missing is a PTO shaft and he could go bailing with it.

Look closely to see that is not an M5. Its not an "exact M5 replica" of course because it doesnt have 507bhp. One thing that gives it away of course is the fact that the E60 M5 wasn't out in 2003!

Carzone should make themselves a bit more bloody responsible IMO.

They shouldn't allow the type of twat that does that to a car advertise it an an M5 - it's false advertising.

Not a patch on this jaded "M Type" 520i "super car" with "lather" interior. :rolleyes:

It's not an 'exact' M5 replica either since the real McCoy has a different boot, only noticeable by real Msport anoraks mind :cool:

Tight Kavan hoor you'd think he's swing for the 550i at least

I always feel like ringing and asking if anyone has been to see it yet?
