Just when you think you've seen it all.
This is a listing on Turo to make matters worse.

It's listed as a 330i, and the description says 330i, but then thats quickly followed by mentioning its "infamous b58" engine.

The car features an M340i badge on the back, and a 330i grill on the front, just in case anyone wasn't confused enough already

Oh, and all of the photos are conveniently cropped to leave out any exhaust tips

Also, I didn't realise there even was such as a thing as a supercharged Audi A7. Unless US markets only? Or is it a modified A7? Hard to trust anything they are selling.

I caught this guy on US41 in Florida in my M5. He wouldn't look at me despite getting next to him and making a lot of burble and pops, his windows were down. He knew he was busted.

As if the wrap wasn’t bad enough. Any idea what this one really is? 328i?

Not so much of a fake badge but gave me a smile the other day.

Hopefully one day he'll be on a beemer!
