And my Z4 was de-badged at birth from new......
I thought if I had it - I didn't need to flaunt it!!
Guess it's horses for courses.
Those who don't have it seem to sometimes need to add M badges and pretend - and those who do have it have choice!!
Think less is sooooo often more.

Re: Chrome grille set
I must admit I am not convinced about the bonnet grilles.
I just got them so the order went through once, but they may not make it as a permanent feature.
Bling worries me as does not 'natural'.
We'll see when they arrive.
