Never noticed that until this thread (and your post) and I just saw one on a car in my neighborhood. 🧐

All over the place here in the Midwest. Hilarious especially because the Infinity guys will bash BMWs and then take on their style.

In Aus we are starting to see a lot of M mirrors on Teslas, particularly the Model Y. Looks extremely odd and out of place. Which is ironic, because I hear that a lot of Telsa folk, especially the "M3"owners like to bash BMW M3s.

But as much as I'd hate to admit, I can see the M mirros actually looking decent on a Model X or Model S. Hopefully noone gets any ideas!

Spotted the ever elusive ///M645Ci with quad exhaust (that’s almost longer than having to say “M3 competition xDrive”)

“DTM Champion Edition M428i”. This was so ugly I could not look away. Where do you even start. M lettering is off size. One side of the quad tail pipes are so clearly fake. Only regret is not taking better photos. Number plates also cringe.

True champion. ppf that thing. Nice find

The funny part is that Goodyear F1 SSs are arguably better than the equivalent Michelin.

They’re strange but they don’t have any badges on them…

Let's not get off topic, this isn't a mirror cap thread, very high brow badge entertainment only folks.

You're selling it short. It's obviously the M528i Performance Signed-by-some-racecar-driver edition with rapid grilles.

Oh yes… thanks for pointing it out, how could I forget the //M performance badging everywhere?? The front and rear windshields even have it on. That’s definitely factory…

Phenomenal! A M428i DTM championship edition. Must be a super limited production of 1 of 1 cars!

I park by my gym 2-3 times a week and I almost always see an M2 park in the same area.

One day I come out of the gym and I see this young guy getting into his M2.

I said, Nice car. He says thanks!
and then he says "with all the money you have in these mods, you could have bought a real M3"..

I asked, What do you mean?

He says "the giveaway is your roof, it is not carbon fiber.."

I said, "well, maybe I'll get the roof wrapped in vinyl carbon fiber so it'll look like a real M3"

I decided to let him go on like that.. Maybe one day he'll figure it out.

Should a said.. joke’s on you, it’s not even a BMW, it’s a Camry. That would’ve left him
