New-to-me 1998 Z3

[mccalli]

So here's the collection of M badges. The one on the back you can see from the photos above. Here's what else is on it:


On the grill:

On the ashtray:

On the wheel:

On the switch insert:

On the roof near the mirror:

Those all look pretty aged to me - same condition as the rest of the car. They don't look retrofitted to me - looks like part of the original car. If I do a search for "Z3 1.9i M" though, I can't see anything that matches.

Odd.

The one on the steering wheel is correct the rest come as a pack off e bay

Well then - mystery solved. Must have been done a while back since they're aged a bit, but yep - they look similar. Damn, and I thought I'd got hold of the only 1.9i M in the world. Honest. No really, I did...

Cars still a beauty with or without extra badging. Its all taste at the end of the day. Easy to come off with a hairdryer or fishing line

If you don't take them off Z3 people will laugh at you, even if inwardly!



Bonzo.

Hi @mccalli , Did you fit the USB converter in the Cigarette lighter?
If so, where can I get one from? I would like to get one that is a flush fit.

Looks like the one that just plugs in available at most petrol stations

I always Pay-at-the-pump, so never go inside the shop!!!
Too much temptation to buy sweets, crisps and bikkies.

Amazon - have just searched my orders and found it was this one. Says currently unavailable, but this one linked here seems to be the same device.

Hi and welcome from Surrey, nice original looking car. Don't worry too much about the M police, they are harmless really.

Well said Mike, they're not half as bad as the Alpina and ACS police

Hi, and welcome from me in Cardiff.

Hi & Welcome. I have an M, but I still get it in the neck from the M Police for a few non OEM M badge placements, so if you like the badges leave them where they are I say,
Your car your rules
