I am considering having emblems made now that you have a name for it. They will be made from clay, edged with mud, with the writing in road salt. They should sell like hot cakes.

During the blizzard in the north east, my E63 looked a little worst than that. It took two washes to get that dam salt off. But it was me that was driving....

LOL! Yes, I am on the nutty side of the street where my cars are related. For example, last week I washed my car THREE TIMES in just one day because it kept getting dirty while I was out running around.

Agree fully. My wife has taken my E63 and our other cars to visit her relatives up north and I couldn't care less whether the car is clean or not so long as she has a good time and gets there and back safely.

If you are going to do the calipers in yellow, black out the red part of the tails and keep the clear part. That will make it completely evil!

I am not doing the calipers in yellow. That was just a Photo Shop from a car that had them in yellow. I will keep my silver ones.

its just a piece of metal, who cares. You got it cleaned, it looks fine.

Funny you mention resale value. These cars drop like such a rock, I don't think a few particles of dirt/salt are going to have much of an effect.
