Seeing the badly badged M5 thats a 525d in the Daily encounters thread reminded me of a moron that went to great efforts then blew it.

I was driving to work the other day and what I thought was a dark blue e39 M5 pulled alongside me at the roundabout. It had the M5 grill (no T bar), M5 wheels, M5 round mirrors and the M5 exhausts, so thought "ooh, looks tidy". Then there was a gap in the traffic so he pulled out onto the roundabout and gunned it, leaving everyone behind him in a massive cloud of unburnt diesel smoke! Either it was a completely modded 5 series Diesel meant to look like and M5, or there was something really screwed with it.

There was also a guy in Plymouth who had gone great lengths with his MR2 to Ferrari 355 converstion, even getting Ferrari embroided seats, and then insisted in driving it around bouncing it off its tinny jap limiter, lol!

Why do people do this? Its one thing to try to convince people your car looks like something its not (not just sticking badges on cars, but the full works with kits and everything), but only a complete retard would then drive a fake in such a way that gives it away!
 
be rate long as there happy , **** what anyone else thinks to be fair

though i wouldn't try make something that its not
 
There's a douchebag round here with a 525d with an M5 badge.

Also someone posted a pic on here of a diesel 1.6 taxi or something with an ST badge and twin exhausts :(

Depends if there the properly attached M badges from the factory, or wonky ones stuck on with Araldite.

If you make a car look like something its not and are aware of that, fine, but its the people who badge up cars to something there not then try to convince people there what where not who are the fools.

There was a random 5 series at Silverstone at the weekend with M5 and AC Schnitzer badges on it... with Sport wheels, square mirrors a T bar and 1 exhaust.

It's like people who buy a fake watch, it makes something less good, slighty less-less good. Generally nobody will know and it will fool + impress your average joe until someone who knows their stuff comes along and you look a bit of a gimp :)

But thats my point. I would have continued to think it was an M5 untill he covered me in Diesel smoke... anyone who recognises an M5 will know they arent diesel...
 
The worst thing about the car in the picture that I put up, is that he claims it's an M5. I kept seeing it and thinking it just doesn't look right. Everything just looks wrong. Finally, one day I was there when he started it, and I really couldn't help but laugh. So the best thing to do... run the reg and take it to the forums!! :D

Yeah - it had four new Sessantas on when I got it. Not what I'd normally buy, but they are good tyres.

What exhaust system is that on the M3, doesn't look standard?... looks tidy :cool:

AC Schnitzer (although made by Remus) :). Dealer fitted and wasn't on my original list of things I wanted, but I love it - massive improvement on OEM for me.
 
Seen loads of 1.4 R32s.

The most retarded car is a Mini Cooper with an M and a 330i badge on the back which I see parked everyday on the commute to work. I mean WTF, WHY? IDIOT!
 
At my mums old workplace, they shared a car park with a few other offices and there was always a Ferrari parked there. The owner of said ferrari was a boss in one the other office buildings and constantly mentioned how amazing it was, yet never started it up.

One day, my mum got the post on her desk, opened one up and inside was an insurance certificate for said boss - a ford escort! No wonder he never started it up! :p
