Okay peeps. I finally get my car back on Monday, and I can't decide if I should fit the badge or not. I have a shiny new one ready.

I'm not really interested in badging it as anything other than standard, so no 316 options..

I've always fancied the idea of a 333i badge when i've finished my m30 conversion .I saw it on a south african motor years ago and thought it looked cool.

No badge !

everyone will assume 325i anyways because of the obvious sporting intent of the massive brakes M8 :twisted: .

only reason mines still wering its label is there a tiny rust spot lurking below :lol:

Definately stick the badge on 8)

My 2.7 has the original 320i badge and it's made a few curious folk ask what's under the bonnet after they've been wasted by it :twisted:

Either the adapted number '2' as shown, or just a 3 badge!!

Many with question it either way!! Not as shown as it looks too much like 320i....

I'm going for a simple BMW lettering style rear badge and maybe turbo too.....so...BMW Turbo or something like that.
Could I suggest BMW 3.2, subtle yet informative, to those that know it'll certainly cause a few thoughts to pound round the brain.
Can use any 32? badge or maybe a VW 3.2 badge.....just me thinking with my fingers again...nice car by the way :D
