I'm also thinking these are not enthusiast that slap the M badge on.. i was recently at the dealer, an older gentleman (60s) had a M badge on his regular X5.. they were no mods on his truck.. Maybe they don't know the true meaning of the "M" badge.
Recently on my road trip to Florida, a young college student (girl) had an M badge on her 328 at the gas station.. and now they are also some young teenage kids that does it also..so i really don't think they trying to deceive anyone, they just trying to style their car. An enthusiast would know not to do that.

On the side vents, mine came with the X5M logo, i use vinyl and cover the M.. IMO the vents its self looks great on a White truck.. but i'm even skeptical on even using the M colors anywhere.
