Yeah, I would like to get these. But do they make them without the ///M5 badges.

You can buy the same size emblems that have a small roundel and BMW that fit perfectly. I got mine on eBay and they look great.

Hey, could you post a pic, or a sample pic?

I'm curious (not curious enough to do this to my car, but curious enough want to see the result)

Thanks!
