To be honest my first thought was it was a VW press car.....used for photo shoots and cars shows prior to the R being in production. I just cannot believe someone could get hold of all the parts without it costing 20K......never mind the paint job....

Advert does suggest he did the mods....but Ive got my doubts....

I'd be inclined to agree. Common practice to build a mule for showing off before the platform is finished.

If so, VW wouldn't have let it out of its sight. The car would have been destroyed as soon as its purpose was served.

I've never understood misbadging cars either. See a lot of BMW's running around with M badges when they aren't M division. Why do it? The only people that are going to notice are those that actually know there is no M120d.

All BMW M-Sports now have M badges on them from the factory. My g/f's 320d M-Sport was delivered with them on the front wings...

Fair enough, I haven't noticed on the newer BMW's.
