It's all where you draw the line.

I know more than few Bavarians who'd be quite upset that some people here are replacing the beloved "weiss und blau" of Bayern in the roundel with a black and white version. Others freak out if you make any non-EOM change to the car at all, right down to the offense of using non-EOM oil filters, etc.

Someone will be upset somewhere, no matter what you do. So do what you want. But the above did seem to be a fair compromise that respects the M history. However my feelings on this are new and still evolving (to quote Obama).
The only acceptable badge change is to add an "s" which is exactly what BMW does when they add a little turbo tune and such.
