If it doesn't come out of the factory like that, then it looks wrong. I'd rather see a false rebadging to M5 than 5 - d.

Nah, stock or debadged, that just looks a little bit amateurish!

I agree with everyone else, either the original badge or debadged. I'm only looking to purchase a diesel e60 so I'd personally debadge unless I got a 535d. If I was in the market for a petrol then I'd debadge anything less than a 530i.
