Isn't it annoying when you buy an Audi R8 only to discover it's not a BMW?
The owner of this one, spotted by French car blog Autoboost, must have given himself a right old slapping when he saw those four rings starring back at him. So he peeled them off and whacked on a few Beemer badges.
Then he stuck some on the engine, the bonnet and the tail, before driving it around St Petersburg so some people could take his picture.
For the full naff factor, he also glued a BMW 850i badge to the back.
We have no idea why. Is this the most schizophrenic car ever? Please tell us if you've seen a worse example of ‘badge engineering'...

A saw an aftermarket Type R sticker on the side of a car obviously trying to chav it up a bit. The thing is it wasn't on a Honda but on a Fiat Punto!

I once saw both a Cosworth badge AND an GTI badge tacked to the back of a chaved up 306 - it was a thing of beauty

Walked out of a hotel in Munich to find an X3 badged as a Mercedes a couple of years back - bonnet, boot, steering wheel and alloys. I mean WHY???????? It's not as if anyone wouldn't know it was an X3 - especially in Munich for crying out loud. People are weird. The end.
