[xwill112x]

wtf. had to zoom way out to se that shit on my comp. i wish there was a pointing smily so i could point back.

[grantlacey11]

only the m stripes will do. no M.

There is nothing M about your e30. What you are doing is called reaching. If you owned atleast an M-technic or appearance, you can get away with it. In other words, you have to earn it like a Dinan badge. That's coming from someone that owns an E46 M3, E30 M-tech II appearance, E30 M-tech II and E38. That's like putting an M badge on my E38, and that would be reaching.

i think it looks cool...its funny how everyone points about if its not an m dont do it blah blah blah...its like putting alpina wheels and the car not being an alpina......leave it there it looks cool

Now you see that there is a split amongst the forum on whether or not it's acceptable. With that said, it's up to you whether you feel comfortable with knowing the perception it gives off. There will always be that doubt in the back of your mind when you roll up to a meet whether or not people are shaking their heads, or simply saying "its his car" ;)

yea well I bought the car for the winter and im not going to any "meets" with it, im a fan of bmw motorsports, i own a 2011 e93 m3 a 2010 bmw s1000rr in the $750 Motorsport colors with all the money I have given to BMW this year I think ive earned the right to rock a tiny $5 ///M badge on my winter car lol

You've earned it, not the car. Big difference. Remember, this is an opinion shared by many...its neither right nor wrong. But if you can live with the fact that it is frowned upon, then it's entirely up to you.

...its like putting alpina wheels and the car not being an alpina......

err.. No, it's not. By that logic Swapping an S50 into an e30 is the same as putting an "M-Power" Sticker on it.
Do you think its corny when you see a bone stock civic with
-BBS
-HKS
-Apexi
-RECARO
-Greddy
Stickered on the door/windshield/fender/hood etc.. ?

You've already got a legitimate M on the other car, so why misidentify your stock ix?

That's just my opinion..
*Nice cars btw

[naplesE30]

Buy a M polo or hat if you are an M enthusiast, but dont put an M badge on a car that has no M parts. The fact you have an M3 has no bearing whatsoever. I have a chevy and a BMW, Im gonna put some roundels on my pickup because I own a BMW... Can you say tool shed.

[evil_twin]

GG it would actually read W/// :)

Some cars came from the factory with the motorsport badge.
