They look magic mate.... I always feel awkward when taking pic of my car as everyone looks and I feel like a twat...

[polsta]

thanka mate, i think so too very pleased with them, been wanting to take pics like that for a long time, luckily the road was quiet being sunday, although i did have to keep moving in and out the road a little bit for taxis and busses even had a couple of blokes come walking along and stoped not to ruin a picture and went "nice"

the last one at the fair there, i sat and waited for 10 mins until the coast was clear to jump out and take a couple, and a bloke sat there watching me in his van must of thought i was mental

who cares if anyone looks or what they think, im taking pics of my car and thats all there is to it

[csl]

Good pics Paintwork looks lovely on this car btw.
Is that a "later" style M grill badge you have there?

[polsta]

i think so im not really sure tbh ? , only put it on the other day and was only a tenner so thought why not for that price and try to source an older original one but rarely see them for sale ?

[polsta]

thanks fellas ! i might return and take some more, what i really need is a decent camera and the know how to take good night/dark shots ? the flash/scwartz/dark combination is quite hard to get anything decent, the car looks fantastic sat there, but then i get some and the pics dont come out too great in some cases with the flash or no flash at night, maybe get some at sunset too , what i really wanted was to put the car end on, might have to go at 5am one day

Nice photos and stunning 318is - shame about the 'm' badge.

[polsta]

thanks for the comments guys !

the m badge- i know its not the right one but was a couple of quid and i like it and will be ok until i source a proper e30 one

being an is, the is came from the factory with an m tech sport interior, tech steering wheel, gear knob,m tech suspension, is lip etc,and is an m tech`d up e30, so its not "wrong" for it to have an m tech grill badge on it in my eyes

[spook]

Where did you take those pics, i think i will get down dog shitt alley for some proper graffiti pics.

[oomz1975]

I'm a firm believer that a 'M' badge should only be put on a M car. M badges on any thing else is merely a marketing ploy that devalues the brand.

so what do you class as an "m" car- can only be the m3 or m5 in that case, but the m3 has its own ms front badge

the is, and the sports, are M equipped cars, so why in your eyes is it wrong to put an M badge on a car thats factory equipped as standard with M technic parts and styling

down by liquid and envy mate, pot luck is no cars are parked up like when i went - if you go down there give me a shout, what dog shit alley are you on about the one by fratton park ? do you know of any other graffiti type spots around ?

[spook]

That is correct my opinion is - 'M' Badge for'M' cars only - i.e m3, m5, m6 etc.


As far as your argument goes, if somebody bought a e36 316 auto moordoor new in the mid 90s and specced a mtech gear knob then it is aloud to wear a M badge?

Hence my argument about devaluing the M brand.

no i agree with you there, any standard 316,318 shouldnt have one....but the IS , came from factory with M tec extras, like the is cloth check sports interior , which was unique to the is i belive and same as the check cloth interior of the M3 (bar the actual differences in the seat shape etc), and the m tec gear knob,steering wheel (both with M tec decals on as standard) , is lip unique to the is,colorcoded spoilers, m tec sports suspension, thus being an M equipped car,and also a different engine to the base model carbed or inj (i think?) cars being the twin over head cam 16valve m42 engine, cars and not a standard base model 318 , so really its an m tec`d up car and is not wrong to have an M badge, its got M badges on the inside as standard so its not wrong to have one on the outside either in my eyes

also the e30 M3 , has its own "M 3 " front grill badge, and the m badge was a factory optional extra for the car as was it for the 325i sports, if bmw did not intend for such cars to wear an M badge, then they would not of produced the M badge as an option
