When I was 18, I had a 520i and it was badged with an "///M" on the left side and many different designations on the right. Sometimes I badged it a 518i, sometimes a 525i. I even made my own badge (with a lot of time and effort) and combined the 518 with a 745i and had a 545i badge. I had an //M badge in the front. Why you ask??? Because. I drive a M5 and it doesn't bother me when I see a M318ti. It just tells me the person is into BMW's and not just an everyday driver. The M535i has the //M badge because of M-Technic spoilers. So why can't a 528 or 325 have M badges? A friend of mine has a brand new 330ci. It has a //M steering wheel, and factory //M wheels. He is entitled to a badge! People should not concern themselves over things like this. Just enjoy your cars. Who gives a shit about badges.

I've only been an E28 owner for just under 2 years. When I bought my car the former owner had on the trunk the M5 badge. I immediately removed the "5" and left just the "M". I've noticed that there seems to be issues with this and wanted to follow proper etiquette here. Seems like a lot of people out here in the S.F. Bay Area add the "M" in front of their badge numbers. The E28's that I've seen has it like me just the "M" only on the trunk, so I assumed that would be okay. Just curious how some of you long time Bimmer owners felt about this.

Thanks,
Ron
