Audi R8 news - Bored of the rings - 2009

Isn't it annoying when you buy an Audi R8 only to discover it's not a BMW?
 
The owner of this one, spotted by French car blog Autoboost, must have given himself a right old slapping when he saw those four rings starring back at him. So he peeled them off and whacked on a few Beemer badges.

Then he stuck some on the engine, the bonnet and the tail, before driving it around St Petersburg so some people could take his picture.
 
For the full naff factor, he also glued a BMW 850i badge to the back.
 
We have no idea why. Is this the most schizophrenic car ever? Please tell us if you've seen a worse example of ‘badge engineering'...
