I see all the M badges, and smile, because I know it just chokes some people. I would never add them myself, but I think it is funny how people have definitions that it is wrong on the deck lid, but OK on the wheels; that it is OK on an X5, but wrong on an E90 or E60. Who made up all these rules? It isn't an M5, it is an E60 M Sport. Deal with it.

I think adding incorrect badges is laughable, whether you are pretending that your 530 is an M5 or that your 520 is a 530. They are all good cars, quit faking it, it only shows your insecurity.
