Just need a bit of advice / opinion. Am thinking of removing the 520d boot badge of my M Sport and replacing it with an ///M badge, what do you guys think?
Thanks in advance

Given that you have a single oval exhaust terminal that tells anyone who knows anything about E60 that it's a 520d, I don't see the point of either debadging or replacing with an ///M badge.
To be honest, even if you had a 550, I still would not see the point of either, but...

The "M" is for the M-series - ONLY.
Just remove the 520d sign.
Otherwise you might get laughed at
wannabes you know...

What's the point of being ashamed of your e60's core model attributes?
As for "M"-ing it. Why?

Perhaps he wants to add the ///M to show people that he has the M-tech aero kit installed,,, I don't see any harm on it.
it would be cheap/wannabe and cheesy if he would be adding ///M5
just my two cents

options include:
cold weather package/ convenience package/premium sound package/ sport package/sunshades/Navigation/ V3 cradle/ OE 166 wheels/M-tech upgrade/M rear spoiler/ racemesh m-tech grill/racemesh kidney grills/M5 mirrors/M5 steering wheel/ HID fog light conversion/ M5 SMG paddles
Just the ///M badge seems okay if you have an M-sport car...it doesnt make me think "poser" unless its followed with the "5" nomenclature.

There are those who wear their designer labels on the outside of their suit jacket sleeves. Worse - they put their own on.

Hi, I have removed the 520d badge gives the cleaner look to the back end.
Good luck what ever you decide

IMHO debadging makes a car look like an unfinished body shop visit.
