I cant get annoyed at M badges like some folk do. Getting the completely wrong model though.. odd! Wonder if it was debadged from factory and the owner felt it was missing something - anything - in that area so went on ebay and just grabbed the first thing they found..

How weird - even the 735 badge is missing a letter at the end! scratchchin

'........why do people do this?'

'Cos they're f'kin stupid!

Most people won't notice, and those that do know full well that it's the wrong badge! What it makes it even worse is that they've badged a 5 as 7, why? If you wanted a 7 you could buy one for the same price (albeit older).......

dhead!

And relax.....biggrin

Perhaps the owner is being ironic - Saying that the 5 series is now the size of a 7 series?

(Or more likely they're just a bit of a knob! wink )
