Default :wtf: M7!?

:thinking:
Stopped next to me at a traffic light near my house..
I think it was a case of fake badging... but he also went through the trouble of getting M series lisence plates. I thought this wasn't even released yet... and this is the upcoming M7

It didn't even look like that...

More like the 01



Any thoughts?

No such thing as a M7... ever.


BMW has already stated that there will not be a M7 with the new E65/66.

Maybe it was a M5 prototype you saw?

then i would guess it's like the famed M318 M325 M### of the past and present

did it have a manufacturer plates on it?


BMW execs have said repeatedly no M7. They do not feel the need to compete with MB. Thus they have the 760Li

Nope... regular plates... even had M plate frames.. and wheels. :thinking: It wasn't some young punk either.. looked like your typical business type guy.. .. What I wanna know.. is how the hell he found an "///M7" badge? Though... the M looked too far apart from the 7... chop job, I'm figuring.
:thinking:
What an odd, odd thing to do.

:yes: Still silly though... If he's trying to prove something to other ///M owners... well... the majority are Bimmer enthusists.. and would know a bullshit job like that.

Bacially... I guess I figured when you have a car like the 7 series... you'd be above fake badging..

Guess every car brand has it's ricers... Even the 7 series driven by a middle aged busniess man. :chuckles:
