Feedback on rear badge

Hello all,

I bought my m240i used, stock expect rear exhaust tip not long before Canadian winter. Even if we are full of snow outside still, spring is only a few month away so planning the modding.

During winter, I bought m performance gloss black replica rear spoiler et font lip, wheels and dinan springs to install when the weather will be better.

My question todays is about the rear end. When I got the car I unbadged the xdrive which helped. But my feeling is that with all the gloss black that will be emphasized with the rear spoiler I feel that the silver M240I will still be out of place.

I did some photoshop from a photo of my car taken at the dealership to add the spoiler and play with rear badge. So far my preferred back is with the M badge only (not M2) since if feel the lettering of M240i is too long… What do your think.

You can spare me the comment about faking it to be a M car that is not my intention and my question is purely estheticaly what do you prefer. Also my car already have stock side fender M and so many other M elsewhere inside.

My vote is for the blacked out M240i though obviously there's really only one vote that counts.

Blacked out M240i.
M on its own is just wrong.

So far a clear winner for the gloss black M240i. Any body saw some AliExpress one that look decent or only the OEM ones should be considered?

I went with black OEM’s as I knew they would hold up to the conditions the best, would look perfect, and would have good adhesive. I bought them from autoid along with a cf spoiler shortly before taking delivery.
