I'm think about putting an original 'M' Logo emblem on the grill. The emblem comes with two thin metal arms at the rear. How is this attached?? Thanks

Should be a backplate and some wing-nuts

That's interesting, I didn't get any of those....

you just push the bagde to the grill where you want and bend the 2 metal arms down, around the back of a grill section

Thanks for that. Will give it a try

you say cheap ebay shite like ebay made them, what make expensive genuine, altho i agree there's alot of crap on ebay and by the sound's of the 2 badges i have the cheap one, but i didn't buy mine from ebay

1. I never implied ebay made them thats just fucking stupid but cheap copies of parts are generally purchased via ebay so therefore id say thats a valid statement.

2. I never said that expensive was genuine that again is stupid .BUT the prices that people pay on ebay for cheap crap is often beyond crazy.

If missing maybe the badge fins were broken or lost at some point.

calm down mate wasn't arguing was just saying. i bought a badge that i've not fitted, it's not broke?

Mine has 2 plastic bars that stick out the back of the badge with bits that stick out at the ends to stop it falling out the grille so you push it ih the slats in the grille and it clips in

An original M emblem is the one with to metal blades on the back which you poke through the grill and bend around,I know this to be correct as my one (which I didn't buy) was bought from a BMW dealership.
Cost about £20 or something.

Thanks Jesus 325i. The badge I have is an original and was purchased from BMW. It has the two metal plates at the rear too

I got one for my sport, but the badge seemed too big for the spacing on the grill. Didnt want to force it incase I ended up breaking the grill so just left it off. Mine cost me £25.
