Have just followed 'K3VEO' around a few local twisties, M3 badged, but something just didn't seem quite right about it, anyone tell me if it's the real deal please? Cheers. :D
 
Thanks for that, looked the part, bodykit, wheels, badges, etc, but there was just 'something' out of place, at least I know I was right now, cheers again. :)

They did a 318i Sport later on, which looked like an M3 from the factory but had M badging instead of M3. But this one is too old to have been one of those.

why do people do this :/

Because they fail. They don't realise that all the lays between a nice, tastfully modified car is a little badge with M3 on it. And they go OTT.

Guy on the 5 Series forum has done the same thing. He took a 520i, fitted the M-Tech sport kit, fitted 4 exhuasts, fitted some awesome BBS LM wheels. The car looked amazing.

Then he fitted an M5 rear badge instead of an M one, and M5 side mouldings instead of M ones. He even went for M5 door sill trims as well :(

Before he did that, his car really did look great.
 
I saw a Fake 2005 M3 convertible tonight, only 1 exhaust pipe and no xenons lol. Think it had replica wheels (no M badge on them) and just the badge at the back.

Did the badge say M3 or just M? If the latter, it could well have been a 318i M Sport Cabrio.

So he gets it half right then gets it horribly wrong with the M5 badges. Such a shame to waste the time and effort, fitting the new sport kit, wheels and exhausts then spoiling it.
 
Even the M badges look stupid though; may as well go the whole hog with the M5 badges.
Debadge *** in this situation.

The 'M badges dont look stupid. They suit a car that have the M-Sport pack. Its a nice touch to have the M badges on there. The 'M badges on a 530i Sport, does'nt look stupid at all for example. Its down to the dealer whether each car has the 'M sport badges on the back, either on the right or on the left with the model on the right.

Having a M5 badge though on a 520i is stupid. Your definatly are going to know when the power is'nt going to be there and the noise.
