why badge a bmw up as a m3 when it isnt

seen 2 in last week

one came up behind me and had m3 grill, so me being in a van thought ill move outta way, he wont wanna be stuck behind me. as he went past it had a 316 badge on the back- cheeky git, he was soon overtaken

then yesterday a old bmw prob a 318 was baged up as a m3 on the boot but no where else was tatty and nasty but the boot was all shiney.

why do this, its like putting gsi badges or vxr badges on a 1.0 12v or 1.2 8v

0-60 its 3.7, 0-100 its 8.3 and standing quarter is 11.9.

Them figures are for a Tuscan S running 390bhp, mines a Redrose (380bhp) with a few tweaks, prob running just over 400bhp.

It happens with loads of car models, dont know why people bother doing it! Just a fake at the end of the day.

But to be honest you can tell straightaway if a cars "badged up" especially an m3, you'd defenitaly tell from the noise and speed.
