Poser ALERT ///M5C

JSR2018 · 04-05-2019, 02:47 AM

Meh, to each their own. Most random members of the public will not know the difference between the M5C and the M5. Sooma's car is already faster than the M5C and has a different stance.

I agree that an M3 badge on a 323ci is a douche move, a bit like a Cosworth badge on a regular ford escort with a crappy quality whale tale copy but this is a little closer than that.

As an M5C owner it does not bother me in the slightest, if it was a 520D then it would be a different matter.

All IMHO of course.

#liveandletlive

PS I knew that I would want the M5C which is why I bought it without driving it, I would always feel that the M5C had something which the regular M5 did not. I am a sucker for marketing lol.

Wouldn't the VIN check show it?

Turn it on

I see a lot of posing even by manufacturers

When you have a carbon roof on a 2 ton sedan?
Carbon mirrors?
Carbon anything?

The exhaust being Dinan is posing for a Ferrari

The QUAD tips was posing 30+ years ago

M5 can be the most respected poser of all times

IMHO

A track car for the street use 99.9%?

Sports+ mode? Really?

That's a fun experiment for me here, or maybe not?

Buying M5=Posing for a sports car which it is not in the full sense

Disillusioned? Sorry

If anything soooma you know how to get a thread to three pages overnight! Kudos for sacking up to post this but couldn't you have just gotten a "regular" m5 blacked out badge? Pretty sure you are familiar with IND

jalkster · 04-05-2019, 06:25 AM

Will eat it for lunch
Got RC on board pushing way more than M5C which should have Race Chip badge on its back to pose

haha interesting move for sure. u do u!

Bryabee3 · 04-05-2019, 06:34 AM

Such opinionated replies. God bless ur souls! Do u brother! if that badge makes u happy, I say fuck em all. lol But if I pulled up beside u, and saw that ur badge didn’t belong. Superiority complex would set in and I’d have a smug grin on my face, but id still smile and wave.

U really shoulda just spent money on the honeycomb rear reflector covers by Axxcion (or however it’s spelled) it cleans the rear end up so much.

I'll take that bet.

1) I have no idea why you'd do this
2) I have even less of an idea (I think that qualifies as a negative amount of comprehension, who knew that was a thing... anyhoo) why the f#ck you'd post about it

So you'll remove it then? 😬

While I am genuinely, mind-f#ckingly confused about #1 and oddly even moreso about #2, it is your car and you can do as you like. No resentment here (I thought that was worth a mention), just gobs and gobs of

While in Greece last year, spotted the "General Lee" ... same as putting the wrong badge on your car ... an expert eye will know the difference 😀
