How do you guys feel about ///M stuff on non-M cars?

The 318is would get walked by a Honda Civic with V-tech anywhere. On the track day, granted my skills are none, there was a 1.6L CRX that was walking me.

Do what you want, its your car. Fuck what the community thinks about it.

couldn't agree more!

Hmm... no here's an interesting topic thats similar to this one. My friend dropped an M52 into his E30 M3 (I think b/c of funds) and He shaved all his badges off. He decided to put his ///M3 badge on and also was considering putting the ///M valve cover on. I thought that would be too much of a gay move so I spoke my mind and let him know. He ended up changing his mind... Was I right in doing this?

yes.

You shouldnt be driving an E30 M3 if you cant afford the engine. Same thing with the s38, dont drive the m5 if you cant afford the engine.

real M owners, leave the front and rear badges for the non M cars!! no need for those badges on my ride, I really dont care what others think it is. rock what makes you happy! hell, alot of non M cars have or had M parts as options.
james, is the M3 ABS computer different? I will sell mine if anyone wants to pay for it- i have that anoying crap disconnected anyway.
the germans here love those badges on everything except M cars!

oh man that is so SO TRUE.
the germans here love those badges on everything except M cars! i mean even on 1853 7 series

a crx is TOTALLY s diff story than a civic. although a crx is a civic a civic is not always a rex...CRX's weigh like 35pounds w/out a driver and the handle pretty good....but only experienced drivers in a crx are going to be faster than a 318is ;)

did any of you see that article quite a few years back in european car of the guy with the yellow civic???? he wanted an M3 but had a civic and the car had M stripes all over it along with m badges----and they did a layout of that car!
so what I am basically saying is different strokes for different folks- do what makes you happy.


my favorite german badge on the rear of E30s around here says--ALLGAU- I think that is a place, but tons of shitbox E30s have that emblem-- maybe its part of ///N division.

Hahahaha. Nope.

sorry dont have a 318. However your partially correct, I do believe a 318 would walk all over a civic through the corners, but in a straight line it would be a very slow, very close race... Didnt mean to offend, I just hate when people put m3 or m5 badges on a car thats not an M and doesnt have the performance capabilities to match. Just like I hate v6 camaros that have SS stickers etc.
