That may precisely be one of the reasons for the new H-kink badge. Actually many newbies are already able to recognize a BMW but wouldn't know the model or how you should pronounce it, even when reading the rear badge (e.g. are a "five hundred forty" and a "five hundred thirty" even the same model to begin with?).
