I've seen this car in the body shop in UK. I thought it's a genuine M8 but seems it's just the M8 wannabe. Don't understand why would you spend so much money on interior, bumpers etc just to pretend… if you just like the looks of the M8 then be it, just do not pretend being one, those M8 badges look silly… even though it's very loud, it has straight pipe all the way, no muffler nothing

The only thing that they didn't do is replace the M850i shifter, otherwise they spent so much money, they could have probably just bought an M8. :

^^ Is that a 428i? Flat brim vape bro in his fartcan CVT Civic probably smokes this guy on a regular basis.

For the same reason people buy fake Rolexes. They want the ego trip without paying stupid money. I've often wondered how much hypocrisy there is between people that are in both this thread and the "what are you wearing on your wrist" thread. LOL
Personally, I'm much more likely to de-badge an up spec car like our M50i because it's no ones business how much I paid for an X5. |

So if you have the X5 50i I would leave as is. It's nice looking and fast and earned its respect. |

If bmw put it on there then there is nothing to worry about. Most of these beauties have badging applied by the owner, likely to fool others. This is what we laugh and point at
