Misleading Badges (was Re: Possibly FS: Dinan Badge)

[SMILLER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

My 10 year old daughter and I were behind an E30 with "M325is" on the
trunk lid the other day.  I made a comment about the car not being "real",
and she asked what I was talking about.  So I pointed to the //M badge,
and she nearly died laughing!  Ten years old and she knows that you
can't make an //M car just by sticking a badge on the back!  Who says
there's no hope for the younger generation?
