My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
So, this is an M-badged diesel?
Whattaya spose that "audience" at whom the M badge is aimed is gonna think, when they see and smell the stink?
Heresy.

My Ride: 2008 M5 -- Exterior: Silverstone, Interior: Black. Fully Loaded. That just about sums it up! :-)
For what each of us paid for our E60's I say that we can put whatever we want on the car as we please.
Nice car by the way!

Well Ray being in front of those petrol guzzlers and seeing
when I have disappeared in front of their eye's I think lives up to the 
reputation (diesel or no diesel). There are especially wowed when they are burned off by a diesel (not that they can tell by the smell or smoke). 
Secondly BMW, thought it fitting to put the
moniker at least nine times on the diesel car -- see the steering wheel, the alloys, door well, etc. It want be long before they officially do it.Thirdly, as CoolTunes points out, I guess we can put on the E60's whatever we like.
BTW, modern EU4 rated diesels do not smell or stink as much as they use to. Considering, I was getting ~ 18 mpg from my previous 525i and now I am getting ~ 30 mpg with significant more pulling power, guess who is laughing

Very nice! 
Silver is always a nice colour on most cars, shows the lines off. Goes well with the dark interior, although I'm suprised it doesn't come with leather as standard these days, but it looks good anyway.
It's weird seeing the single slot cd drive and standard A/C, you don't see that much, I guess it must only be a UK thing (getting ripped off as usual 
) I don't know what the difference is though.
Love the ///M badge,
I think it should be standard on all M sports!
Enjoy the torque!
