Saw this guy again. Seems like he had some paint work done since the last time I saw him.

This thread is truly priceless.

Found someone who went the full eBay F30 to F80 body kit. Added some fake Brembo caliper covers for good measure.

Another M

Thought NYC was bad, found two posers on the same block in Hong Kong right next to each other. I guess posers attract.

Man, until coming across this thread, I wasn't aware of the lengths people will go to make their non-"M" cars look as such. Reminds me of the old days with Impreza/Lancer owners trying to make their cars look like an STI/Evo.

It's a mess here. And I hate it. Counting down the days to my departure....

Just don't come to Colorado. We're full.

Kidding... would love to have a fellow M3 owner in my area. There are surprisingly few around here and it would be nice to have another to break up the monotony of S3's/S4's/S5's running rampant.

I wonder how much this guy spent building a fake F80. I’m sure it’s less than the price difference between the two cars, but at some point wouldn’t you have to ask yourself whether you are better off saving the money, maybe investing it in the market, and working toward getting the real thing?

A wild M found in Costa Rica

Just rediculous. Can’t be happy enough with a 7 series and finds the need to lie to himself.

Apparently fake badging and such is also a thing for electric cars now as well. This is a top of the line Model S P100D badge on a entry level Model 3.

Why go through all that and not do the mirrors?

If you ever see me in Boston I've got two real M cars. An X5M and an M4.

The guy can't afford the real thing so he made his own. I give him credit for doing it right. Not the fake the caliper covers.

Gauging by the level of interest, this thread must be worthy of some version of automotive Oscars. Fully expect more enlightening posts.
