[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 493017, member: 15"] Hahaha...another round of unnecessary discussion. Put it this way, if I want to print and stick a BMW LOGO on my car, does BMW has any issue with it? Just a LOGO and nothing else for my own private consumption. Is this consider an abuse of the roundel? I don't think so, but in fact we are helping to promote the ROUNDEL! Look at the WTCC, there are independent teams that have the BMW logo on their cars competing against the factory team itself, is it an issue? Now, if you are running a workshop, accessory/parts shop, or a BMW forum, then there will be legal issues as it may give a false impression that you are an affliated partner of BMW and potentially confused end users. That's why in many countries that respect the law, like the USA for example, many forums don't even use the BMW moniker as it is a trademark and hence you have bimmerforums, beemer.com and what not :) [/QUOTE]
