Anyone who actually looks closely at the body lines and the emblem will see the same thing. Since they use a jig at the factory. It's not like someone hand applies them.

Mine is straight too. Maybe the 2016's have a limited edition model that comes with a slanted logo from the factory.

If the GTS had slanted badges there would be a DYI in 5 minutes on how to do the "GTS Slanted badge mod".

Just purchased a new 2016 M4 and my emblem looks straight; as compared to the one in your photo.

Ive seen worse... Spotted this guy. Look at the gap between the M and the 4. That bothered me more than the "hilighter" green wrap. Lmao

At least the pinstripe round the rim matches - nice touch

It's an optical illusion.
