As far as a conversation starter with a "car enthusiast", wouldn't they be able to identify the car by looking at the differences in the lines and/or equipment of the car? A badge is a billboard to advertise what you have to the average person or ones own ego. My interest gets peaked when I can't tell what you have done, that's when I ask questions.
That's just my opinion which amounts to NOTHING!
OP does have a good looking car.

Each to their own, but I would substitute "one's own ego" for "one's own satisfaction". Ego sounds negative. I've wanted an "M" since I was a kid and I like seeing what I've worked hard for sitting in my garage (owned an E92 M3 in the past too). I get your point, and people should do whatever they want with their own car, but don't assume everyone else is a braggart. Should we start removing the blue and white BMW emblems from the hood too?
I'm only adding this post as a bit of tongue and cheek... Love'em, hate'em, or make up a new model (m540) and slap that emblem on your car, it really doesn't matter at the end of the day.
