I only have one, "why?".

But it's probably someone sarcastically just having fun with it, trying to get a bit of attention/reaction.

Exactly!!! We had a 1986, 1988, 1991 and 1996 Sable. Pretty good car; for a FWD appliance.

When I was 16 I put BMW badges on my 95 explorer, and replaced the "Explorer XLT" badge with a "RAM 1500" badge.

I'm not kidding about this, but I used to volunteer for the local library and one day it stormed really bad and I had left my windows down, so one of the librarians (really old lady, I think she was in her 70s) came up to me and asked "Austin that's your blue BMW RAM out there right? Your windows are rolled down!"

I will always remember that day because myself and the other volunteers always joked about it. I used to have so much fun with that car. My friend's dad owns a body shop so we always got free badges to toss on each other's cars.

If one were inclined to "badge engineer"... why not go fully loaded? Why stop even at 528??? Go 760?? LOL... naw it wouldn't be believable right??? Yeah it's a midsize so 5er it is.

Funny, after I posted this I was driving out of town and saw a base model pre-LCI e46 coupe with an "///M330Ci" badge on it with ///M3 plate frame and M3 stickers in the windows. Like damn the car + all the cosmetic ///M enhancements could've just gotten him an M3 :/
