What's your opinion about people who put fake badges on their cars?
I have friends who like cars but they love putting decals and M badge on non M BMW and re-badging Mercedes with higher end models etc.
It bothers me to see this but I didn't want to hurt their feelings so I've been keeping my mouth shut. It is their car after all.
To me, it de-values the car especially when it doesn't have the right equipment and looks to back it up.
I'm just curious who they're trying to mislead? Certainly not a car enthusiast. A casual observer won't be able to tell the difference or know what it means. There's no significance for most people.To them a BMW is a BMW or a Mercedes is a Mercedes. Most people don't know what M or AMG signify.
So, what is the motivation behind this? So why do it and why is there a huge market for this?
