After years of seeing knackered 3 series� rebadged as M3�s and the like, I came across this:

You�ve gotta admit, it�s kind of cool… or is it just me…
David
Sorry, not cool, I think it’s just you.
Dave
For a runaround it’s not bad. (Steering on the wrong side mind…)
Is it a 530d with M5 body panels?
If it were an estate I’ve go for it…
I�m pretty sure it�s an M5 just rebadged, I don�t think it would be worth putting on all the M5 grills, mirrors and exhausts just to stick the old badge back on.
Surely it�s gotta be the ultimate Q-car…
David
Gods knows but the 5 is a bad car as is the 7! The new 3 coupe is decent looking but the 3 saloon is another bad looking car! Either way i hate it when people badge up cars different to what the acctually are! Are they CSL wheels, or are they different to the ones on the M5
Naw… a nice Mercedes S65 4-door saloon (V12 biturbo) badged as a S320 CDi… that’d surprise quite a few people.
Are they CSL wheels, or are they different to the ones on the M5
Nah, CSL�s use BBS RX�s, no idea what those are though…
David
nowt wrong with an M5 - excellent motor. Looks like someone with too much money is having a laugh by badging it a 530d - bravo!
I often see this guy in a 3 series diesel (320d) on the way to Oxford. It’s badged as an M3 with the added bodykit, even the numberplate says M3 XXX.
I think even the dark sunglasses he wears are badged M3.
Do like leaving him for dust in my knackered Audi 1.9 TDI
