As far as the blacked out badges...why not Ebay? That's where most people on here have purchased theirs with no issues. (including myself) I've seen them on other sites for double the price of those on ebay. Just a thought
I said not ebay because I had bad experiences buying anything from ebay.

But you are right, ebay sell them: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=M5+....c0.m270.l1313

so are they good?

Debadge it and keep everyone guessing. Is it a M5 or not?

I'd get the blacked out ones.

It was meant for people who don't own BMW and people who can't tell. I had a person in a 535 and said to me nice M5.

I would think people would look for the badge to tell which model it is rather than looking at the brakes.

I don't like the debadged look, regardless of the model you have. It just looks wrong...
