IMO, the only E53 deserving of an ///M emblem is the E53 LeMans V12...another may be member JMH's personalized 4.6iS or those with supercharged 4.6iS'. There are several on this board with superchargers.
As i said...if you're in love with it, that's all that matters. However, besides the fact that your X is labeled something that it's FAR from being, you will invite battles that you're most likely to lose.

I actually disagree. Performance has nothing to do with incorrectly representing a car.
I'm sure there are plenty of E53's out there that have enough work done to out perform a real x5 M- I see the problem being that no matter how fast or
modified the car is, it will never actually be an M. Just call it a fast E53...I guess what I mean, is that no car deserves and M badge if its not an M from the factory.
