//M badges - yes or no?

[Jasn]

They would look better without them in my opinion. I wouldn't be 'worried' as such. As a general principle though I prefer a car that is faster than it looks rather than the other way around.

I think there’s a difference between fitting genuine parts which happen to have an ‘M’ badge and sticking ‘M’ badges on things. The former is fine in my eyes, the latter is more like the days when I worked in Halfords and people would buy ‘GTI’ or ‘Turbo’ badges for their Saxo or cooking model Golf...

Live your best life, if you want m badges on your car, stick them on.

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.

That’s an Aberdeenshire number plate and car looks great.
I have the same wheels on my Z3 which are 17” and quite rare. I think they are copies.

Very true - it’s the grills I really like - not the badges

Maybe non M cars with M badges should put the letters "ish" after the M. So you could have a BMW Z3M ish

I’ve started thinking now that I’d take the M badges off even if I did have an M car. This thread has affected me
