If you've got a 325i badge on the offside, then M badge goes on the nearside.

If no 325i badge on the offside, M badge goes on the offside :thumb:

They're not M cars though are they... Doesn't bother me as much as some, but I still think it looks a bit wannabe :gay:

They're not M cars but the M symbolises M Technik rather than Motorsport....they just happen to be the same logo :mad:

This argument will never be solved!

So i an M3

But the ///M badge is different to the ///M3 badge

Big difference is the number after it

If you have Mtec parts the i dont see a problem with the /// badge

Heating underneath it gently with a hairdryer and using a square of cardboard cut out of a cereal packet to ease it off has worked for me before....
