WHY?

I posted this previously - I was getting my 550 washed at a car wash in Chicago - an older gentleman in an '80's Buick complimented on the 550, then ask what '700' series was that - I said it wasn't a 7, but a 5 - he said I should change the badge to a 700 and that would get me more street cred, especially on the south side of Chicago...and he proceeds to tell me he's been helping younger dudes like me for years...I really didn't want to be a dik to an older guy, so I thanked him for his 'help' and said I would get right on ordering a '700' badge

You could've sold him your 550i badge.

If I saw this I would have to go buy the 28 and replace it for him...
