i'm pretty sure that's actually the factory badge.
there's a couple of them that i see around my town and one of them is completely M'ed out with extra badges and vinyl striping...it's utterly hideous, but i havent been able to snap a pic yet!

I blame all people who put on fake badges for making us second guess every badge we see now. |

Yeah no malice intended, just having fun. I usually debadge my vehicles. Hell, I debadged a 97 blazer back in the day. Pro tip: I went to debadge my F150, but Ford had tabs on the back and fit into holes in the sheet metal. So don’t do it unless you are up for a patch n’ paint project. |

M-Sport bits added should be how it reads! I wouldn't mind some of those cosmetic add ons myself (Door sills, steering wheel trim).
I'm actually totally cool with that, and think that would be a nice add on! But that //M5 badge just needs to go! |

M used to stand for “Motorsport”. For quite some time now it’s stood for “Marketing”.

Looking at his Craiglist listing, I wonder if that Bimmer even has the Sport Automatic Transmission option....lol And....Who would drive a fake M5 WITHOUT paddle shifters??? For me, the sin of installing a crooked badge is greater than the sin of de-badging. One shows lack of pride & attention to detail in quality of workmanship whereas the other is just an indicator of vanity, insecurity, and inflated ego. He's been able to accomplish all of the above!....lol and no mention of preventative maintenance in his for sale listing on his 100k mil Bimmer... |

I put anniversary Badges on my z4 m40i.....
Yea they didn't have them for the 2020 model, but my car is fully optioned anyway and I paid over $75k for it 🙄. They did have it for the 2022 model but nothing in 2022 changed except anniversary Badges were optional. Is that fake? |
