The new M5 spotted on the FDR drive

JNoSol · 04-11-2012, 08:49 AM

What if it is really an M5? He slaps on 535i exhaust to throw you off. It's a sleeper!

dblock2151 · 04-11-2012, 10:31 AM

I wouldn't mind putting a 528i badge on, I get Honda/Acura/Nissan drivers who always try and get me to "race" on the highway. Maybe if I changed the badge they wouldn't bother?

positiveions · 04-11-2012, 12:58 PM

i would have honked at him and gave him a thumb down

I agree with JNoSol. Watch out for the sleeper.

Yeah, there's a guy who is apparently one one of these forums who I read about in EVO magazine. He's in London and has an E39 M5, but has it rebadged as a 520d or something like that. LOLZ.

Well, I saw a BMW with an AMG badge - go figure... I pity people who base their self-esteem on of the car they drive.

Is Fdr?? Exit 16?

I spotted this same car last weekend in Bayridge Brookyn. Still proudly rocking that M5 badge on his 535.

Its a shame though because the car looks nice as is. Not sure who the owner thinks he's fooling besides himself thinking nobody knows lol

Hei man, from asia? Im from malaysia n these cases are common. Saw a few E60 523or 525i but stick a M5 badge to it. Saw some merc too. E200 kompressor with an AMG badge. Cant they be serious, c'mon.. Lol. They just cant be proud if what they r having.

An individual who has an over-inflated sense of self worth, compounded by a low level of intellegence, behaving ridiculously in front of colleagues with no sense of how moronic he appears.

SomeRandomer123 · 07-08-2012, 12:43 PM

Who was it with an E60 M5 that badged it up as a 520d? That's brilliant!

looks like the FDR and yes, another stuppid NY'er

M means nothing these days except Marketing, yes M for Marketing. Look at the cosmetic differences between an M5 and a 535 with the M sport package: dual exhaust and a fender vent, or is it a vent?. As for the rest only the experts on this forum could tell. My car has 11, count 11 Ms displayed all over the place - isn't that just pure marketing? I feel pitty for those buying a real M5 - what a monumental waste of money for a marginal performance improvement with a warp speed depreciation

Teemo Panda · 07-10-2012, 12:51 PM

hey i badge my x5 with an M >_>
I dont want to buy a 100k car just for looks and have terrible mpg, 300HP is more than enough for my needs yet getting acceptable Mpg,
that i could spend the extra 40k on a convertible and drive it on the weekeneds just to take a break from the kids, or i spend it for my kids college~

i really hate haters hattin too much,

Russkey · 07-10-2012, 12:55 PM

You can have all that and also leave off the M badge too. Just saying

Ultimately owners can do whatever they want and people that rebadge with a higher model's numbers are probrably fooling 90% of the clueless people out there. Just know that for the other 10% that do know...you are being laughed at.

I've seen so many people go out of their way to put on a million AMG E63 or ML63 badges all around the car when its only a 350 model with a dinky exhaust. Cracks me up every time...

I dont know if there is a nicer way way of saying this but your comments make you look really dumb!

M is for "motorsports" heck we can even say that M is for "more" but not "marketing"

Hunter5179 · 07-12-2012, 03:27 PM

F_ck it. I'm going to put an X5 badge on mine.
