Denver. Agree that only enthusiasts notice this, which is the exact audience that sees it and laughs at how stupid it is. Quite possibly the dumbest thing going in the auto world and honestly sort of sad. |

4 roundels on the back... brake light that spells out "BMW X5"... somebody REALLY wants the world to know he drives a 10+ year old BMW.

Agreed, but it's only possible because the basic paradigm for BMW cars (by and large) is exactly that of every other commuter car. It's only us fanatics that notice much beyond the badges (the hips, the exhaust, the size of the tires, the stance, etc.).
If the car had a different paradigm, say that of my Lotus, the badge itself wouldn't matter. My Exige says "LOTUS" on the back of it, and has a Lotus badge on the front, yet usually the first question every normal person asks is "what is it?" Maybe I should put an M badge on it |

Think about the poor Mustang owners. A base Mustang and a GT350/500 owners see this all the time. Someone bolts on some parts, applies some stickers and a cobra and they have a "tribute" GT500. It happens everywhere, all the time, certainly not exclusive to BMW. Different years but red is V6 Base, Blue real deal.
