New BMW R8? Wait, that’s an Audi R8 Right?

Someone must have taken the BMW against Audi billboards a little too hard especially since this guy felt the need to replace the Audi badges on his Audi R8 with the BMW roundel. Shown in the images below, is evidence of a delusional person who must be trying to prove some point about his flat grey Audi R8 sporting a BMW badge on the hood, engine bay and even one on the trunk with an “850i” emblem. I mean seriously, the 850i was a nice car for its time but the Audi R8, as I thought, is a much better sports car. Maybe I am crazy for saying all of this but then again, the owner of this “BMW R8” is F***ing out of his mind!

    Their luxury badge must have expired.

    I love a BMW as much as the next person, but who goes out to buy one of the most recognizable vehicles he can find and the rebadge it with another manufactures symbol?

    I don’t know that it’s so much BMWish. The Audi R8 is one of the most popular sports cars ever sold by Model Makers. I think the Audi R8 has pretty much earned it’s identity and it’s not a Bimmer.
