BMW allows it...although we do not accept putting an M badge on a E53 x5(2000-2006) due to e53's Never had an M car  so I'm guessing thats why....  |
Demnn effin right
.. back in the DAY you didnt have super fast SUVS like u do now - sporting 400HP easy.. so when the 4.8IS came out - it was the words faster SUV for a certain amount of time - the only reason why it didnt get a "M" badge then it because BMW said they will not label such heavy machines (SUVS) with "M". Now a few years later, more trubo-chargers and etc - almost every model has a "M" version.. I feel the 4.8is is more of a M car then anything.. it has all the characteristics - big displacmdent - powerful engine - huge tires - quad exhaust (under-cover) -- if you dont agree thats your feel on it.. and since the 4.8is only had a 2 year run - they gave it its best - before moving on to the new platform..
and when I get the ESS supercharger this year maybe the M badge on the 4.8is will be well deserved..

Added with custom reworked exhaust, and a few other modifications - VROOM!! VROOM! is going to have a whole new feel to the 4.8i soon
and honestly putting a "M" badge on a fucking 3.0L is different then slapping that shit on a 4.8is... GOOD DAY!!!!
