Are there taxes in Slovenia based on engine size, fuel economy and/or emissions? Maybe he's just trying to dodge a car tax?

That's exactly what I thought of doing the other day!
Nah...520i is too powerful, let's try a "520d" badge instead. And you will be first diesel E60 in Hong Kong!!

Maybe it is a real M5 and he placed that badge there on purpose for people to think what you and me just thought.This way a guy in a 550 for example would chalenge him but the guy in the ''520'' which is a M5 would smoke him.
My imagination is going wild

Did you check the brakes?
It is a genuine M5, I checked all the details, M SMG gear, gear pedals on the M5 steering wheel, M button on the steering wheel, suspension regulation on the central dash board, break discs, M seats in Silvertone color etc.
The white sticker on the windshield is nothing but the ABC box, Slovenian system for motorway toll payment.

not sure would the registration state on the car. But if the parking officer put down BMW 520 on the ticket, he can argue that he got wrongly cited. cunning
