Ethics: Rebadging to a 330

you mean the jay walkers? hahaha! besides, I not refering to Orchard Gudang lah...

SCM, if there is no intention to misrepresent well and good, but some people intentionally misrepresent. then thats where there will be problems.

:ehhh: What problems are you referring to ? :ehhh:
Or do you mean it will cheapen the real McCoys ?

For me, if it doesn't affect me and the owner get a little thrill with what they do with their own property.... :thumbsup:
 
ok, I give you an example. Cheapen is one word to use. The other way to see it is that it creates confusion among those who are looking for accurate information. If you look at a rebadged 330 or whatever, and if it is the first time you see that type of car, then you will have a lasting impression of the car as such. Now when you come across another 330, this time the real one, I am sure that you will notice the differences and ask yourself, why the differences.

With that comes the "problems" that I am refering to.
 
As with the M3 and Yam Tree. Guess there is a parallel there on why some serious modders here do not install the M3 side grilles. It is more than respect for the M-word.

I personally think it is a small/non-issue. If someone is easily confused simply by the badge, then it is good education for him/her to learn more about the car itself.

When on the road, I wouldn't care if it is a 318/320/330/M3, a good/considerate road user is more important (but then I'm an old man so what do I know).

As for cheapening the car, I dun depend on the actions of others to value my stuff. UDMs have their handling prowess to sell itself to a car enthusiast.

Cheers! :)

P.S. I also dun understand why ppl want to rebadge their cars but they do provide me with something to laugh about ;)
 
SuperChargeMe,

Its just something that makes a person happy.... We must admit though that many times in our lives we have seen things that we like and want the same as well. Be it a house renovation or dinner plates or even dress sense... I am almost certain there is something somewhere part of our lives that we have copied or wanted to look like something else...

Hello, brudder? Mine poor 1895 cc 3er still can afford OEM stuff okay? At least I admit it is a pathetic 3er hor. Honesty is the best policy.

Swee, at least you're honest and not to tag as 345i.

FYI, I kena suan until seow and go straight to BVO and put everything back in order. Now go back to the correct 5er engine, badge, Hamann rims and etc. Now you happy boh? :lol:

Pls don't offer me any "7, 4, 3, AMG, RS" kind of thingy.... :naughty:
 
For the record, I badged my 318 as 328 last time and I am not ashamed of it. Its my car and it makes me feel good. Where got such thing as ethics?? Its still a BMW wat. Ethics is involved ONLY if u take a "3" from a bro and say u lost it but in fact u go and put "330". Thats ethics.

When I went around looking for a "2" to switch my "1", I did tell those I approached what I wanted to do..ask Ivan and Cal.

I dun think ethics is involved and I hope u guys dun bring such words in if u dun bloody understand what it means. Thank you

Ethics MY A**
 
so the moral of yr story? kinda lost. IS it, debading from 318 to 328 is no ethics, n debaging from 318 to 330 then got ethics?

It have been noticed that there are a couple of bmw car owners out there who are driving a 318 or 320 and have been retagged their rides to a 330. They simply rebadge a 320 to a 330 by changing the “2” in a 320 to “3” as in a 330.

Personally, I feel puzzled why anyone should retag their 318 or 320 to a 330 to beguile the layman especially if he / she belong to this forum.

Not intending to censure anyone on their freedom of expressions; would like to field for opinions on this issue to determine if such actions are condemnable and culpable or “hey it’s my car, I can do whatever I want”.

My Getz has been rebadged to Boxster S and am ready to chiet anyone here :evil:
