    ///M grill badge question?

    Picked this up for only $7 on ebay but I think it is missing something on the back, maybe the piece that holds it on. Do you know where I can get another backing or is there a way to put it on with a diy backing?
    sorry for the crappy cell phone pics




    Thanks guys!

    Yes there is a clip for it on the back. Search on realoem.com to find the PN but you should leave the m badge for a m3.

      I looked it up on realoem.com and all I found was the badge itself not the backing. Any suggestions?

        It looks like it has the braket on it.

            Clips on, you slip it over the rails I think.

                Again it looks like it just sits over the rails and you push down on it so it seats its self.

                  Some non m cars came with the badges, not sure why

                    The dealership was the one who would put those on.

                      I'm pretty sure the only non-M cars that came with M-badges are euro-spec M-Tech cars. Even the US-spec M-Tech II cabbies all had badges that said M-Technic, not M.

                      Do whatever you want, but you're going to get piles upon piles of shit for having that on your car. It's not an M car, it shouldn't have an M badge.

                        You have an M motor in it, I've got no problem with an M badge, and I'm and M3 owner.

                          You slide the badge onto the grill from the front, and bend the top metal tab down & the bottom tab up over the nearest horizontal slat to secure it to the grill.

                              As John in VA said above, you slip the ///M badge between two slats in the grill and bend the metal tabs around the above and below slat to secure it. Fairly simple...
