... would the BMW V-8 Chrome Emblem be alright up near the Front fender light(to the back of it)? It looks cool, but if you guys think it's wack....I'll hold off.

Thoughts?

I just think it's overkill. I mean, your 550 badge already says that (V8). That's my $0.02.

I agree - adding badges is not my cup of tea. Look what a mess this guy made:

Most people are against adding any type of M embleming because your car isn't a true M-car. You and some others might enjoy it, but most people will think you are just a poser, trying to be something you are not. In my honest opinion, I wouldn't do it, but if it makes you happy to have it, that's all that matters. It's your car!!
correct but when you have an M pack that is also from BMW and for M, so you can not M5!

its your car if you want to stick it all over, V8 on sides and ///M chrome AFTER the 550i lettering, this way you do not "fake" ///M 5(50I) and sure nobody has it here.
or the one like shiny posted here in Europe that's HOT mate
I have seen 535d even with ///M5 badges... no comment
