Please don't flame me, just asking an honest opinion. I noticed on the new 550d's and other new BMW's that the M division has been putting their logo in front of the badging, like ///M550d.

Tacky...the //M should be installed by BMW at the factory. There may be some M influence, but not enough to put an M badge on.
