How many portholes should be glued to the fenders of a 335is?

Today as we were leaving a restaurant, I spotted a white 335is (lack of fogs make in an is, right?) with 3 of the distinguishing Buick portholes glued to the fenders. In olden times, Buick would have 3 on each fender for less expensive models, and 4 for top of the line. But today, they represent cylinders, 3 for a V6, and 4 for a V8. Shouldn't the owner have glued 6 of them on each side to indicate an I6?

Agreed. The guy should then have his BMW taken away.

Stock dual exhaust? Are you positive is was a 335is and not an old base debadged 325 or 328? Who would debadge a 335is, let alone add those stickies.

To answer your question, 3 on each side should do it.

I saw those on a 328, with chrome 16"s and curb feelers. He sped off through the parking lot, before I could get my phone into camera mode. I'm sure I'll run into him again, if he was a local.

Did it have 26 inch chrome wheels on it to? There's a silver one in Ft. Worth Texas like that, I can't imagine how he jacked it up that high, it looked like it had 12-14 inches of ground clearance, what a wast.
