M Posers
I was driving around Birmingham MI today and I did not think people in this area did such silly things.
BMW M7 BMW MX6 Is the M badge really that desirable? |

Common practice. I see it all the time.

Yeah but it's funnier when the ///M badge is on a Honda....

I don't understand the appeal. I can understand the humor when a Honda has a n M badge, but a majority of the population do not know what the M badge represents. However, car enthusiasts most likely know the M line up so when they see these badges they will point and say 'poser.' I figured if you can afford a nice car like a BMW x6 or 7-series, you would have some common sense. I guess I was wrong.

Lol. I guess the M badge is cool until a real M pulls up.

Once in the early 80's I had a Ferrari logo on my red VW Beetle...
It was awesome! Cheapest way to own a Ferrari |

i'll have to dig up pictures of the ///m525i that i ran into or the ///m 535 (with fake quad exhaust) i saw in nyc. it happens to all the 'desierable' cars. when i was still in my s4 i'd allways see s-line rear badges (ebay only part) or obvious a4's with an s4 badge (other than the performance difference there were styling queues that set them apart).
personally I'm a fan of anything with a huge wing or has bumper cutouts... Also don't forget that BMW is diluting th brand by offering 'M' packages on the 1 and 3 series cars which won't help the matter. |

There's a Mercury Cougar around here with Ferrari badges, parts stickers and a flaming number 13 with a skull on the hood. Fierce. |
