@jnm: Your profile picture is apropos, as that is one of the choices I'm considering. My car is still in transit, so I want to see how it looks and feels amid the American car landscape (ie, a generic mall parking lot or highway). If it still maintains a "big car" feel here as it did in Europe, which I doubt, it might also help drive the decision.

Primarily I want to see which option I feel makes the car look sharpest and most coherent, live on my own car. To me, and only me. So I have to play around with the options on my actual car when it gets here.

In order of likelihood:
  1. De-badge completely (stealth, and I liked this understated look I saw in Europe)
  2. Put the M next to X1 to form MX1 (since it's as M as the X1 gets, but flip-side this could also feel Japanese)
  3. Remove X1 and leave just the M (as per @jnm)
  4. Leave it looking like a generic stock X1 when it is not (stealth, and I liked the "X" AWD nature of the driving performance)

Hopefully my car will arrive in my hands by the end of the month.
