E50"0" is not line up...

When I loaded something to the trunk last night, my wife told me that the E500 badge the last "0" is not line up the 1st 3 characters. I joke with her that I'm sure we have a V8 not V6... I thought she was joking but when I look at it closely, she was right the last "0" sure not line up the "E50". I wonder anyone noticed this to their car or just happened to my car?

Thanks!

That'd only be an option whether you would want to keep it or lose it. I'd say hit up the dealer and correct the misalignment.

Maybe the "500" were cames off before you purchase. Just go back to where you bought the car and ask the salesman to exchange a new set.

Yes, it must be one of those counterfeits. See cover story of current Business Week for the enormous counterfeit market for luxury goods. (I'm thinkin' the crooked 500 might be less ominous!)

Same thing happened on my Rolecks watch. Then the numbers fell off entirely.
