It's on the European models and deleted on USA though some USA slipped out of the factory with them on. I don't think you're competing with true Ms with only a fender badge - it's also on the M Sport brake calipers.

True ///M's have different side vent designs with integrated X3/4/5/6 ///M, same with the front grill. Consensus is definitely not ///M on the back unless it comes from the factory - I facepalm when I see a X5 ///M40i or X5 ///M on the tailgate.
