Why dip dip$hits on ebay list M5 in their descriptions for everything ?

[Derek A.]

I see guys selling 300,000 mile m20 525i's with M5 in the tittle. Its like oh yeah - Was was considering an M5 - but your car looks much better instead.

(no flame intended on m20 300K+ mile e34's )

I've seen it too - loads of ebay listings with M5 in the title or description. Maybe you get more people to look at the item by doing that. Loads of non-BMW owners know what an M5 is, but an E34 could be just a food additive!

because people dream all day, nd search ebay, and then they see a car that looks similar, and is cheap and stuff, seems like a viable option

True. This man speaks a lot of truth.

Idiots with some cash in the pocket will buy a 525 if it looks like an M5 and they don't care about the performance difference/can't afford the real mccoy.

Still doubtful? Why is there such a huge market for M5 styling/non performance parts? What's the psychology of sticking an M badge on a lesser car?

Whit, it's all in the projected image. It's also why you can buy a Rolex watch, Gucci shoes, etc. from a guy on the corner. Some people are just not satisfied with what they got. Little Feat have a line in a song...keepin' up with the Jones's is killin me...

Hell, (just my thoughts) most people probably don't know the difference between an M5 or any other variation of a 5 and would be just as impressed in seeing the guy drive up in a BMW.
