NewNiceMrMe Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 See I forgot to mention this one earlier. I pass it parked on a drive every day. It's a W plate in Carbon Black Metallic. The guy is out washing it every weekend without fail and I have often thought he must me an enthusiastic like me because he looks after it, seemingly, properly. Then, a couple of ago months I noticed his standard 16" star spoke alloys had gone. In their place had appeared a set of what I think are 17". Cheap looking - mercedes 3 spoke style - didn't even know they did those for the E46. Anyway, I had a tut to myself and thought nowt more. Well, on my way back from the Metro, approaching home, there he is on the drive - just pulling off the drive actually...and that is when I noticed them... ...he has added Lexus style rear lights. It now looks like a mobile brothel. I so much wanted to stop him and ask why oh why. Fact is, he'd have probably said "Cos they look cool, do you want some?". ARGH!

loddrik Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Was at the lights next to a new E-class which had been badged up as an E55 AMG, I feel ashamed for people who need to do this sort of thing, I only hope he felt embarassed when a proper AMG Merc moved off ahead of him!!

activa Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Someone with that lack of knowledge probably doesn't even know what the AMG badge means anyway.Don't tell me he'd left the Elegance badges on the sides too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Thats just appalling, how tacky can it all get? In summary of BMW's in particular (as a driver of one I guess I take more note of any tarted up or imitation ones) this is a small list of ones I see occasionally: 1. A 318i Touring with an M3 badge on the rear hatch, stick on side vents and a windscreen sun thing that says MotorSport. 2. An old 318iS saloon with a huge 4"+ backbox, M badges at the front and rear and a set of M alloys...now this might be a common sight that you all see somewhere near you...but I bet you don't see em in kermit Kawasaki lime green with checks all down em...and trust me its a 318i - cos I know someone who knows the 58 year old owner!!!!!! 3. An E46 318i Convertible with kit on, M3 badge, standard 17" alloys....why???? 4. But worst of all a 318Ti compact with an M badge on each front wing, one on the rear hatch, huge cheap SaxoPaxo style alloys, Blaupunkt stickers on every window, a wonky mouted rear chrome twin exhaust that moves 3" from side to side as the car is driven, and a driver that wears shades ALL the time, always seems to have his window fully down and his arm out of it tapping his palm on the panel of the door as he drives along with the latest dross playing at full volume......

activa Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Worst Bimmer I ever saw was years ago in Hackney. It pulled up next to me at the lights and I thought "that sounds a bit noisy"-on glancing over I realised it would do having side pipes on it!!!! The ones that go all the way along the sill and curl up at the end,just like a hot rod.Only thing is it was a 316,yucckkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Hey, I mean, another thing, those Merc's make me think that they're owned by the type of people that would make 500 trips like a Muppet on fuzzy stuff only to find the wheels they went get don't fit when they get home... And we were looking for the worst modded Bimmer - maybe we should look for the most senile Merc owner intead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you'd need is a set of chrome spinners bolted to the hubs,some neon underlighting and a pair of those dodgy lighted windscreen washers and you really would look the part!

Reminds me of that Mr Bean sketch where he decides to decorate his flat using a tin of dulux and a firecracker. He covers up everything he doesn't want painted - like his fruit bowl and fruit - before plonking the tin on a table in the middle of the room and lighing the fuse....
