It's okay. I think it looks pretty good.
It's okay. I think it looks pretty good.DK's ride is one of the best looking (and sounding) E60s that I have ever seen. The tips look terrific.

lol, dude we should put a 525 badge on your car and see how many people roll up on you.
Funny thing right now not many people want to even run me once they hear my car they just give a thumbs up, but if I had the 525 badge or even a 550 a lot more cars will roll up and run instead of giving thumbs up!

My Ride: 2005 BMW 545i
I really don't like it when people badge their cars as a higher model. It just makes you look douche-bag-ish. I don't get why you want to fool people, anyone who are decently knowledgable about cars will spot it in a second. No harm no foul to make your car look more aggressive (and in our cases that means looking more like the M-series) but why rebadge? It reminds me of people who try to impress the opposite sex by claiming to be something awesome and great, but once discovered, you end up looking like an idiot.
I've seen it all in LA, the worst was an Accord who seemed to want to flaunt on the badges he stole off of other cars. IIRC he had a Mercedes S class badge, M3 or M5 badge, Lexus IS 350 badge, Scion emblem, and V8 or V6 badge ALL on the back of his car. It was a nice looking V6 Accord Coupe too, why oh why...
I also saw a E92 328i with a 335i emblem and a Toyota Supra looking turbo emblem beneath it... sorry to break it to you but your single sided outlet exhaust kind of gives that away...

yeah, I didnt know about the Chrysler 300c Bentley GT limited Edition either.
That was the funniest conversion I have seen, a Chrysler 300 with the full Rolls Royce kit on it. Even had tailights that looked similar to the Rolls (except on litte problem, they still had the Oldsmobile emblem on them)

Good point, besides, we all need to remember we are still driving a 5 series. It's not like we are driving an 86 Chevy Caprice here. So leave the badges off and be proud of what you have, you own (or lease) a BMW - which is still more than 9 of 10 people can say.

im planning on adding m5 fender grills without the m5 badge on them i love the look .
Adding an M badge to the rear but not the M5 badge everything else will be debadged.
I know we dont drive an M5 and i just love the look, so im modding based on that, i think people that would try to fake and race an M5 and act as if they could hang with an M5 are pure stupid.
when i see an M5 i drool, much props to M5 owners love the rides!
but im still putting my grills on lol
