Yes but why do you think they want to fool someone? I mean the person who puts an m3 badge on his 320i yes, obviously. But I think people are just bored and have bad taste so they put the ///m badge on. At least it shows they are enthusiasts? I guess, haha
I might be a cynic, but if you're throwing *excess* (yes, I know most m-sport cars come with badges stock) M badges on the car, it's clearly to try and show off that you have a more expensive or a special version of a standard car (which is likely false) and not because you're an enthusiast.

Notwithstanding those who totally rebadge a 320i as an M3, if you have a 320i, debadge it and put ///M badges on the trunk and sides, you're trying to get people to *think* you have an "///M car" and not a base BMW. A true enthusiast would either simply de-badge, or leave the car badging as is.

All my opinion, of course. People can do whatever they want with their own vehicle. I might just chuckle a little when they drive by
