//M badges - yes or no?

Get them on! now all you need are the Z3M side mirrors!....I put both on my 3.0 and love the look....99% of people who see it have no idea if they are standard items or not, if you like the look just do it!......the car did get a few admiring glances in the local BMW dealership when they were put on.

Very nice šŸ‘. I might be swinging in that direction.
 
Yeah - I donā€™t think Iā€™ll go that far. I didnā€™t know the mirrors were different tbh. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve yet seen a Z3 ///M since I got my Z3. šŸ‘
 
They're not quite as rare as Rocking Horse sh***, but getting close.=))

If itā€™s not an ā€œMā€ most BMW petrol heads will know it. Personally I would cover the M badges and keep the side gills on cos they represent a touch of quality. Have a sign made up for your window saying I like my Z3 but would love an ā€œMā€ cos at the end of the day thats what putting M badges on non M cars really means, of course this is only IMO. Most ordinary motorists wonā€™t notice or care.

M badge on a non M engined car reads "plonker" to me; others will disagree. That said, BMW devalued the M badge years ago for marketing purposes, so it doesn't matter any more.

Ok ok. What about the fake grills though - can I put them on and take the ///M off?

I just like the grills but donā€™t want to pretend my car is something itā€™s not. I also like tinkering so taking the badges off and filling in the recess before painting is a little weekend project that Iā€™d enjoy. So maybe thatā€™s the way to go. Cheers šŸ‘
 
Itā€™s up to you at the end of the day, itā€™s your car. Personally as a ///M owner I donā€™t care as been said BMW have devalued the usage anyway and in some circles they donā€™t class the MRoadster as a true ///M and even had that said which didnā€™t upset me because I donā€™t give a sh*** of about Willy waving.

I do like what Stevo has done with his gills quite individual. Nothing wrong with putting///M gills on if you prefer them over the shark ones. At the end of the day itā€™s your car and whatā€™s makes you happy and they do look more stylish but Iā€™m going to be biased. As a point of interest though to get new ///M badges for my gills and boot BMW require my vin or bring my logbook in to prove ownership or they would not sell me any.

That is interesting! Thereā€™s lots of iterations of ///M, ///M sport from what I can tell. I once had a 1 series ///M sport as a courtesy car while mine (not the Z3) was in for repair and I was so surprised they would give me an ā€œ///Mā€ till I drove it and realised it wasnā€™t! I reckon Iā€™ll take them off - I think itā€™ll look better without them as itā€™s not the ///M version anyway. Even though I kind if wish it was šŸ˜‰
