from your pic looks like it has been removed (or maybe different on the m3's from factory) but just would like to confirm it?

thanks.
M3's didn't have the rear plate surround.

You can still remove them though, it's down to your personal taste I suppose, US E30's didn't have the plate surrounds on the rear.

Take yours of and give it a good polish behind there, if it's not rusty (common to rust here on E30's) then leave it off, get some surrounds, and it will look different!

With IMO. Looks more German as said before. They're cheap enough so just buy 'em and see what they look like on your car.

@player6 - get that Max Power sticker out of your boot dude :nono:
