Ok, let's set things straight!

Wow, I'm loving the feedback - which appears to be a 50/50 split where you guys either love the badging or hate it. This is my two cents on why I did it; I wanted to stand out, I wanted to show my love of BMW, and to show that I believe my X5 is as close to an ///M as any, any thought it deserving of the badging. Tru, if a 4.6 or 4.8 went up against me, I would lose, but that has yet to happen. Sure, a fellow X5er may laugh, but my 4.4 is de-emblemed so it's not like they would think i'm a 3.0 with ///M badging.

Either way, the badges are staying on. I read the first post or two and got discouraged, but seeing the reaction of some that it looks great, they're staying on.

I think i'm done modding this ride. So no clear corners - sorry guys! I have a sport wheel and need a round airbag, but that's really the last upgrade.

Actually so far it is more like 9 against it and 1 maybe 2 for it, but who is counting.

Do what makes you happy.

Wow, you're a big loser for counting them, but I'm sure you knew that already.
