Yup someone put the badge on there -it doesnt come with it
Mercedes-AMG has had the high-dollar, uberSUV market to itself for quite a few years. But the $69,025 BMW X5 4.6is, a full-boogie sport sedan disguised as an SUV/SAV, is a shot clearly directed over Mercedes' bow. It places strong emphasis on sport, moderately less on utility. The X5 4.6is is the only BMW product in our broad test not to wear an official M badge; according to BMW spokesperson Rob Mitchell, a prerequisite for the logo is a high-revving engine and a manual transmission. Though the 4.6is technically has neither, make no mistake: The DNA is there.

Yeah I think it was the most expensive($70K) version that is 3XX hp and has the rectangular round chrome tips. The M badge must have beeen put on there. By the way the mom that got out of it was :drool:
