hello

was driving through town yesterday and saw a white 325i (i think).

and it had a bavaria badge on the right hand side of the boot where
the badge normally is :wink:

is this a special model or just a random badge? :mad:

anyone heard of them before? :D

Random badge taken from an early 70s E3 saloon ,nearly as sad as fitting an M badge to a non deserving turd.....

I have it on good authority that the bavaria badge was the German SE DESIGNATION. These appear on some 70,s british bmw,s.

My 1982 E21 323i had a BAVARIA badge on, I was reliably informed it refers to SE trim.

Sorry men it was what 80s council types stuck on their turds before the advent of ebay M badges ! . The bavaria script was never factory fitted on any euro BMWs.

The BMW Bavaria was a N. American spec. E3, can't remember if it was a 2500 or a 2800. I remember seeing them in Vacouver in the 1970's.
