I'm planning a HP upgrade this weekend - putting a new M5 badge on my currently naked trunk. I'm looking for some measurements to guide me, such as:

- How far is the bottom of the M from the bottom of the trunk?
- How far from the edge of the trunk is the right side of the 5?

Thanks in advance.

I hope you have your flame resistant underware on. :D

28mm from bottom lip and 55mm in from the right edge of trunk lid

Don't forget the grill, shift knob, seat and steering wheel badging.

I do - but more for the geekiness of asking that question, than for putting on the M badge. It's going on my M5. Thanks for the measurements
:p

I walked down stairs to measure, no way in the world would I have that info in the gray matter. :D

Bryan, Sorry about that I looked at the "username" box and got carried away. Also the space between the "M" and the "5" is 10mm.
