Doesn't look that bad, don't think red is the best colour for it though.
Personally i'd stick with plain as i think i just looks tidier, cheaper as well i think.

OEM is only about £30 from the dealer. Gauranteed fit as well.

i'd go (went) oem which looked sweet when it was done, but if you go for this one, i think the decall is a bit tacky....maybe leave that off.......you dont need a bmw badge slapping you in the face, it's bit like overplaying the M and alpina theme, (unless you wear a bmw cap, jacket,socks and M-Power pants, then go right ahead)....if you must have one, then maybe silver or charcoal would look better than red....imo of course!

Bloody hell, thought it'd have gone up by now.
Any idea if M3 ones are still available and if so how much they are?

Apparently you soak it in white spirit and scrape it off with a plastic blade. Not too bad if you do it that way. I'm about to do mine so will let you know..
That looks like it's made from good stuff, if you believe what he says. Might be an OEM improvement.
