Looks awfully similar to another 328i///M from several pages back!

Well then, feel free to jam up this thread with some more pics!

WOW...!!!

I'm a bit surprised the dealership didn't post any pics of the interior; however, they were kind enough to list:

Condition: Excellent
Price is Firm.
Serious Buyers Only!

Hilarious!

Seems way out of place for Arizona. I thought for certain this was going to be a Miami or NYC listing.

So true!

I hope some clown in Pinal County buys this thing so we can see him get pulled over by officer Frank!

Wow, that is not quite, but almost as bad as that 7 series from a few pages back. That weird mouth/teeth decal should go on the 7 series to really complete the look.

Those M style mirrors look odd. Like too big for the car. Looks like they're from an X6M/X5M.

Wheels look good though.

It's the carbon fiber wrap over the exterior of the A pillar that does it for me.
I didn't even know J. C. Whitney sold that!!!

I can't imagine this dealer trying to sell it in that condition. Strip all that stuff off and you have what looks to be a good car. Nobody would know how hard it's been hooned over the last few years. But leave all that on and it just screams vapes, flat brims, burnouts, and check engine lights.

X1 M

[a5m]

Seeing a lot of these 328i M's

[sikotic]

Just when you think you've seen it all.
This is a listing on Turo to make matters worse.

It's listed as a 330i, and the description says 330i, but then thats quickly followed by mentioning its "infamous b58" engine.

The car features an M340i badge on the back, and a 330i grill on the front, just in case anyone wasn't confused enough already

Oh, and all of the photos are conveniently cropped to leave out any exhaust tips

Also, I didn't realise there even was such as a thing as a supercharged Audi A7. Unless US markets only? Or is it a modified A7? Hard to trust anything they are selling.

Fake badging is still dangerous.

Ah ok, there you go. Did not know. Thanks for clarifying

I caught this guy on US41 in Florida in my M5. He wouldn't look at me despite getting next to him and making a lot of burble and pops, his windows were down. He knew he was busted.
