hi All,
Ok i looked on realoem, couldnt find it..hope some1 can help better...
im looking for the little /M (motorsport) logo, that can go inside the instrument cluster,
it goes where you see the "VDO" logo on the cluster... i think some of the cars..possibly e30 m3 had this... i want to do this to my car as a subtle neat touch...
i have brushed aluminium rings on my cluster and ferrari red painted needles... looks the business if i might say so myself :)

can anyone guide me to a PART # ? i saw a pic somewhere of a e30 cluster with it in, so if someone can supply me a bmw part nr.. it might be a emblem from another bmw model..not sure..

cheers
Anton

Putting a led behind it will probably work. I've seen many case badges light op in my pc-modding days.

Saw a mod somewhere where it was done. Looked like a lot of hassle though.

You probably saw it lit up where someone has stuck it over the check light/symbol on the clocks so when the check light comes on it flashes through the m badge.

these //M badges can be bought at the dealers, they are the correct size for the 7 series parallel spoke wheels (type 37) and the part number 36112228660

only a couple of bucks!!
