So its 8am and im on my way to school about 10 minutes late, i see an E39 (about 2002) 530i nice clean white BMW infront of me at a light.. i take a glance down at his plate and his plate frame cathches my eye! top says TRD big and red and the bottom says toyota racing development! I start cracking up and took a pic, i havent been home to upload the pic off my phone yet, i'll get it up here tonight What is he thinking?? (I'm both a Lexus owner and as of thursday also a BMW owner but i wouldnt do that!)

Maybe he's an enthusiast of both BMW and Toyota and that's his way of representing both

This could be true... But if you think about it most people dont see it like that. When it caught my eye im just like WHAT!?! its a BMW with a Toyota (TRD) plate frame... It just seems odd, something smarter would be those frames that say, My other car is a _______. I think im gonna get one of those too!

How about those with retrofit headlights in a Lex? i.e. BMW Angel eyes, Q45 projectors, TSX projectors etc..Why not keep it original? Your thoughts?

in H.S. I had a real Cobra. The funny thing is alot of kids would buy the cobra emblems and put them on their cars backwards. .

Kids do the darndest things! !

This is all true, this stuff didnt come to mind when i first saw it. I mean i dont care if hes the CEO of Toyota. If hes driving a BMW i still think he shouldnt put a TRD plate frame, dont you guys agree? It's just WEIRD! No offense to any of people who have done something like this

Maybe he had a fat 2jz setup or maybe even a 3uz

You never know these days. I hear 240sx are getting 2jz transplants instead of the usual KA-T or SR20DET setups.

!!!! YOUR RIGHT... GUESS WHAT I SAW THIS WEEKEND... I met a guy with an S13... rolled up to my friends house with a motor and exhaust that should the neighborhood like no other! Im like what in the world does this guy have under his hood my friends were like dude he has a SR swap, im like naw man that is NOT an SR... He pops his hood there sits a very snug LS1 with straight pipes! AMAZING! He had 225's stretched as far as possible in the back and he said he cant give it more then like 50% throttle or he'll just melt his tires, unless hes on the highway.. (But very unlikely for this BMW guy)

If I rolled with badges, stickers, or L-plate frames mine would be a Jag, Lexus, Mercedes, BMW combo frame....... so maybe he just had several interests. The fact he cares enough to display it shows obvious interest. This is a good thing.
