So is it cool if BMW puts 109 M badges on a 316 M Sport? (Or what are the called now, 318??)

HOLY F#*K

This is special kind of stupid!! :skit::skit:

Agree! That M badge is clearly bigger than the TSI badge and it just doesnt make sense for it to be bigger! What a dumbass!



Dude don't get you knickers in a knot -

Would you put a GTi badge on your car? or Maybe the ST badge? I'm going to guess probably not because its stupid!!!

Hi All

I stumbled across this thread while looking for a seller for OEM M badges and I must say reading some of these posts made me laugh...

On a more serious not the obsession with M badges has a dark side because people are willing to deface your vehicle to steal a fender, rear or grill badge and I’ve even had the BMW cap stolen off one of my wheels...

My car was recently in an accident and inbetween the panel beater and the tow truck company my M badge was stolen and BMW have quoted me R980 for a replacement, I am seriously considering a debadge:cry:...

Yeah maybe if it was already an M-Sport E90. At least he's not slapping on an M badge, so it's not so bad.
I feel that M-Sport cars can get away with the stripes (if that's your preference) but not much else.

Agreed. After all the BMW colours is for a BMW.:skit:

I must be missing something, this 320i above isnt the only one with this stupid idea of putting these small M stripes at the bottom of the car, what is the reason behind that?

Its like a half harted effort that is done, this part of bonnet, part of under the door, part under the rear bumper, what is the idea here. Look at me I have a bmw with a small piece of a sticker, do it proper or dont do it at all. :RedNo:

If the guy was into "doing things proper or not at all" he wouldn't have bought a E90 320i :fencelook:

I am so glad I weent with the 335i instead of the 320i when I was shopping for a bmw

In hindsight now I am very glad with my choice
