With the M-Sport kit on some models, it is much more than the simple aero body kit you get in the US. We get the M labels on four wheels, door sills, pedals, shifter, steering wheel, and so on. But we also get the M-Sport suspension (different than the sport suspension) and the short-throw shifter. This is on the 5 series. 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. |
