I would think it's because RWD has been BMW's lifeblood for such a long time and since they've now flooded the market with all sorts of xDrive variants they want to bring attention to the RWD capability again.

Or it's because people are like crows and like more shiny things.

So, it seems like people don't like fake badges, but what about something more subtle like a giant sticker that says

"MUGEN POWER MOTOR GROUND TOURING GT"

Surely there are worse ways to spruce up a diahatsu?

Or they do it because they know it will piss off a select group of arrogant arses that actually care about such things.

I’ve called him out on his Instagram account and he insisted it was real. Then he said it’s a limited edition. And then said it’s a full conversion. I think there’s something wrong with him

Truth be told, the vast majority of drivers on the road will only notice the BMW badge, and that the car is a BMW.
Most people won't know the difference between an "M" and a regular numerical badge. It's really just amongst us BMW nerds...��

Maybe these are the badges he has collected from other defeated drivers.
