I left a lonely "5" on my trunk:
Attachment 83329
but its not cuz I wanted to make it look like an M5 - I just don't want people to know what kind of engine I have.
That said, I don't really like that 5 on it anymore either - prolly gonna take it off soon... or put a "GT-R" next to it hahaha

Debadge or rebadge. There's no middle ground. It looks like your "30xi" fell off at the car wash!

Its a good middle ground though. You drop the added weight of 30xi but people can still know you have a BMW 5.
