[quote=""Chompers""][quote=""535dboy""]It doesn't have a proper M engine though !
Also it doesn't have a proper M Badge as there is no number designate - just like those that put and M badge on their 520d M Sport

What's wrong with a 520d with an 'M' badge on it
I have lots on mine

You don't have an M badge on the boot do you trying to trick people into thinking it is an M5

M badge on rear is fine if you have an M Sport trim as they come with about a dozen dotted round the doorsills, wheels and steering wheel etc anyway. Nobody 'in the know' is going to fall for a 'this is an M5' lookalike thing when there's a downward-slanting diesel exhaust on show anyway.
Where I do have a problem is where people de-badge because they have the lesser powered derivative (yes you do, be honest as you are only kidding yourself)

No your right 535 I don't have an 'M' badge, you should know me better than that
and I haven't de-badged it either quite like the 520d badge and even more so at the pumps

That badge on the 1M looks awful on the boot, completely wrong positioned.

Agreed. I have to say I like the idea of the 1M, but this just doesn't do it for me. I'm sure it will be fun to drive, but it would have to be a used e92 M3 for me

An M1 with an M3 engine for 40k would outsell M3s and M5s several times over which is why they would never do it.
