Sorry to piss on your parade, but those rear lights are truly gruesome - as is the rest of the rear-end styling.
i was dreading that you would think it looked good.phew.

My friend has just bought a 545i. I suggested replacing the badge on the back with "520d".
You could substitute Goggomobil badges for the complete effect!

Maybe it was M Sport 320d, they have the badges on if only small ones somewhere on the body. Nothing wrong in that if its got the M kit on. Only wrong if it has no M kit or its an overly large M or M3 badge..
I hate it.
There are no M Sport badges on the exterior of an non-M BMW including the M Sport cars.
There are some on the interior though e.g. sills, steering wheel and gear stick.
I think it looks ridiculous, even more so when they remove the 320 badge and replace it with an M badge.
On a side note I was impressed by the guy driving a 135 yesterday who had it debadged, you can only tell a 135 by no fog lights, 2 large black satin exhausts and large non-Brembo branded front callipers.... It was a bit of a stealth performance car
