Ah now thats the difference between veteran and senior membership, thank god I didn't ask the Ruthnium question, I don't need a beating from a metalurgist!
No I haven't opted for NMI. Whenever I see a debadged 5 I always think it must be a 520i. I never actually thought of the "Street-sleeper" reason.

An ex-colleague was most disappointed when he asserted that my car must of been an 520i because it was 'de-badged' - his face was a picture when I told him it was a 530...
Badge & model snobbery...............
