I wonder if it was sold like that or if the owners know.

I remember in an episode of Entourage where Ari tells how he re-badged his wife's SL500 to a SL600.

Nismo isn't GT-R specific.

Fellfromdsky · 04-19-2016, 03:54 PM

Don't know if this fully qualifies as a fake badge but I've been seeing a couple of these M328is around

I would park as faraway as possible. This guy might key your car out of rage.

...the red car looks like a real M3 and not a fake one at all...

But the dark car behind it with the who knows what to the indicator appears to be the DoucheBag-Upgrade.

They have replica fenders on eBay for the 3xxi but it must not fit well because the hood was popped up.

KingFishy · 04-22-2016, 11:20 AM

X5 4x4?

ZEEM3R · 04-22-2016, 11:43 AM

Couldn't get a picture unfortunately, but few days ago saw an M3 in my side view mirror about to pull up next to me.. My insides were like

It pulled up next to me and it just turned out to be a 3XX with an M3 front bumper and fog-lamp delete
