Need your opinion. The dealer gave me a choice of putting in on the right hand side, eliminating the 545i badge, or putting it on the left hand side and leaving the 545i badge on, or not putting it on at all.
What do you guys think?
im leaning towards the Dinan 5 badge alone. Anyone in the know would know that the package only goes on the 545 or 550.

More badges the better. keep them both. Put the Dinan badge above the 545 badge and put a V8 badge on the left so they definitely know what you're driving.

Replace the 545 badge with the Dinan 5 badge. You don't want the car to say "Dinan 5" on one side and "545i" on the other side. Seems redundant. The only Dinan cars I've seen that kept the factory badging are the ///M cars. On the right, it'll say Dinan and on the left, it'll say ///M5. Makes more sense that way and that's why they have different badges for different cars.
Here's a pic of my old Dinan-equipped 545 below.
