Wannabe M2

scrammer · 04-07-2018, 01:08 PM

It's one thing to put an ///M badge on a non-M car ... but this one takes the cake!

Maybe they reserved the plate for their M2 that is on order.

Cheer up. Pretty sure this Subaru has no MPE

))))

I'm just surprised he hasn't gone full retard and removed the "35i" portion of his badge yet...have seen that a few times already around Toronto

Funny. I saw a guy in Toronto that has "not m3" I chuckled.

But this one is blasphemy.

I wonder how that person feels when an M2 passes by or pulls up next to them? Or if they are getting their ca serviced and there is an M2 on the lot? Maybe even a snicker from the techs as well?

pruettfan · 04-07-2018, 03:38 PM

I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they have an M2 on order, as soon as the M2 was announced I checked to see if the plate was available, if it was I would have had to drive my 3 series for a while with the M2 plate on it.

Spare a thought for this guy.. hoped for a beemer, dreamt of a porsche, bought a merc

HODLM · 04-07-2018, 04:58 PM

This guy takes the cake:

1. Fake M badge, with mismatched / misaligned fonts

2. Fake Alpina trunk roundel

3. Was driving like an ass

Welcome to Miami.

maybe they got the plate before there was an M2. There are more convincing ways to modify an m235 to appear as an M2 than a vanity plate.

Or it could be an M2 debadged to M235i

I wish I could find the emails from the guy trying to sell the M135 (with body kit) as a 1M. He was trying to pawn it off in a trade as an actual 1M. It was up in Seattle somewhere.

He wanted to work deal on my M2 with this thing. It seemed liked a good deal to me, until I realized it wasn't an actual 1M.

I should dig it up.

Of course it does. Just mind the M2 colours available.

(And M2 stands out visually too much anyway.)

No body kit will make M135i look any close to 1M (or 135i).

SM2 · 04-10-2018, 06:26 PM

The best is when people just remove the 35i badge and now they have a cheap m2.

McGary911 · 04-10-2018, 07:34 PM

Why is the W red and the rest more orange?

Shadow/reflection. Notice the color of the car is darker too where the person is standing.
