Z4 badge on M roadster

Vertigo//SD · 03-29-2011, 08:42 AM

M roadster available at a local Toyota dealership. M badges on the sides near the roundels but... a Z4 badge on the rump...?

that means two things

1 the previous owner wanted to down play the monster under the hood...or

2 the trunk was swapped and painted because it was crashed and some body shop monkey forgot to swap badges.

No big deal, just get a proper M badge to replace the Z4 badge, and stick it on if you buy the car. I wonder if that was a factory mistake, or if the owner knocked the original one off and applied the Z4 badge?

Be careful then! Watch for overspray on the fenders or color mis-match.

Well it does have the ///M look such as exhaust and front... I suspect they got tired of people asking what it was and added the Z4 emblem!
