WHY?

wez130 · 22 Jul 2008 at 21:58

To whoever it may concern,

I've Just been on a short break to Wales and noticed one of the management at the park we stayed at has a BMW. However, this was no ordinary BMW, this was a new shape M3 stealth BMW (wish i got pics now), it had the M3 badge at the front and the M3 symbol on the 'aftermarket' number plates, but had standard 3 series alloys.however, it didn't have the M3 wing and was actually pretty much standard, infact, very much standard, infact, anybody who knows what an M3 is would clearly know this was not an M3.

I've just checked the plate to find it's a 325i converted to run on gas. What does my head in is that if it didn't have the M3 badge on the back, i would have liked 'this car' more, because it actually was a nice car, but because the owner decided he wanted to convert it to an M3, it made me think it was a pile of crap.

Why do you not use sentences? :mad:

[TW]Fox · 22 Jul 2008 at 22:01

Did it definately say M3 and not M?

Either way I dont think there is an awful lot of care in stock right now. Fix your sentencing.

wez130 · 22 Jul 2008 at 22:15

yes it did say M3, and would sentencing have made my point clearer?

I always play spot the fake M3 on the drive to work. E36 seem to be popular as of recent (seen two this week alone).

And paragraphs, if we're asking for things.

Also done, however, please don't expect tabs at the beginning of paragraphs as the forum software doesn't support them.

Almost every car in Coventry has an M badge on and thats not limited to BMWs. Some of my favorites on the walk into uni include an E-class, Golf, Astra and a few Korean cars i cant even identify. The mistake seems to be most common among the young Asian lads.

I saw an Astra today with an M/// Badge on.

zeppelin101 · 22 Jul 2008 at 23:13

I saw a carrera with a TDi badge on, if it's still there tomorrow I'll get a picture.

I nearly crashed I laughed so hard.

I have a 2002 Civic with Type R badges. Travesty, it really is.

[TW]Fox · 22 Jul 2008 at 23:29

I've been trying to prize the M badges off my door sills but they seem to be part of the car

I knew I should have got an SE.

danza · 22 Jul 2008 at 23:39

I'd remove all mine, but I'd be there for weeks, literally. They're all over the car.

I feel like such a fake.

like i said, it had M3 badge on rear, not just an M badge like yours.
