What makes it worse is that he didn't even make a credible attempt to have his car look like a real M5. If I were a BMW brand manager, I would shudder when I saw something like this driving by because it weakens the brand image among those who don't know enough to realize it is a fake.

Funny you should mention that...last week on the NJ turnpike heading into the GW bridge I saw the opposite case. A 525 with ONLY and M badge very poorly stuck on and of course purple oxidized tint.
