A lot going on here… looked like he had CS-style wheels, which weren’t bad tbh. But the fart-can exhaust on a 540i was horrid (and of course the badges… and it even looked like some of the “competition” part was broken off?) Couldn’t tell

Looks like there are 2 level of fake badging going on here!

So it's a 320d? Wow. And yeah, very obvious for the photos it is the 'luxury' line. Would be interesting to see the front - would bet that it also has the M coloured stripes on the grille.

I think they took off the D when adding the //M. Couldn't fit it all on and keep it looking good!!!

Interesting, I thought Miami was only known for people not using their turn signals. Of course, BMW also has that reputation

Miami is a sunny place for shady people. Pretty much everything is fake there.. badges, people, butts (do not google Brazilian butt lift).

That is true... Wouldn't have come here if my wife hadn't insisted

asking for someone who bought the X1 M35i that I originally ordered...

what if she puts the "M" badges on the left and right fenders? (which BMW deleted only for the US/Canada market) No, she's not anywhere near Florida.

But why? They were removed for a reason! Didn’t even consider it for my wife’s 240ix. They look out of place and the scale is off too - tiny M logo on a relatively enormous quarter panel.

As long as she starts spelling color as colour, she might get away with it.

The only thing that would have made that poser M 100% Miami would have been an accompanying video of that thing blasting through Brickell at 2am blowing stop lights while revving it’s exhaust deleted motor with the sound reverberating off the buildings as he raced a highlighter colored Lambo. Then wrecked!!! D Just saying...
