So I like how the F10 M5 small grille emblem looks, I decided to make my own mounting base and put the emblem on my oem gloss black grilles. Let me know what you guys think..

I like it! Especially because its nice and small like the F10 style..

The funny thing about little badges, stripes, and other little indications regarding what a car is (or more commonly isn't) is that the cognezenti who actually know what an e60 M5 is, know what they are seeing without ANY badges or stripes...Funny how you can tool through town in a 500HP 200MPH machine and get nary a glance, (especially from LE) really sort of the beauty of the car...It doesnt really look the part.

OP Its a nice installation and if it makes you happy that's really all that matters, I am going the other direction; de badging the rear and trying to figure out if i can do the same to the side gills...Q Ship.

Small and tasteful. I'm on the fence about badging on these cars. On one hand, it's a freaking M5 and you should be proud to own it. On the other hand, along with Tortuga's comments, does an extra badge really do anything more than gloat and brag of what the car is? When in reality the car itself doesn't need any help being amazing.

I'm not doing it to identify the car, I just like the way this small badge looks on the grille. This is how is going to look once it's on the car:

I like it. Did you remove the badge and mounting from a F10 M5 grill?

No, I fabricated the mount with aluminum and stainless steel screws. And then attached the oem badge to my mount. This is just a little way to make my car unique since I have the most common color on a e60 m5.

I like it. It is small enough that is tasteful without being gaudy. Be sure to take pictures of your mounting solution and maybe include the parts list and instructions for 'Badges' aka UF ER DR as she might like to add this to hers. :M5thumbs:

I like it. I think it looks great. For some reason, adding badges to this car gets people crazy. I like the new badges on the F10. I just went with the //M

the small M badge looks alright, but the big one looks out of place on the grill.

Finally installed, got exactly what I wanted :applause:

 

[Saltdog]

I think it might look better in the bottom left corner where the grille is a little more squared off.

Nice little mod, and as others have mentioned, it is quite small and unobtrusive. Great job on the badge choice and mounting. You're right, in that this little mod. really does make your car stand out amongst the other (and very awesome I might add) sapphire black metallic M5s.

I do agree with most of what Tortuga states, that in so many words, the M5 is a sleeper, and I love it! The only thing I disagree with is de-badging any M car. I always love to pull up behind another M vehicle and see that wonderful badge. Plus, if I have a passenger with me who is unfamiliar with the M provenance, I have an immediate conversation starter. My two cents on that.

Take care, and thanks for sharing the very cool mod. and pics.

Best,

I installed it on this spot because this is where the F10 has it.

 

[Fuddy]

normally I'm one to not like extra badges.... but this actually looks pretty good. In some ways an homage to the original e28.

 

[5.7 silver bullet]

I like it... And I don't like badges... My girl is naked...Good job.

 

[Phil's_E60]

First M5 badge mod that I like.

 

[DarkLord]

I really like them both.

Maybe start selling sets to fellow board members?

This. Just don't sell it to anyone with a black M5
