I'm trying to decide whether to leave the 325 badge, debadge, or to put the "m" on the back of the touring (post s50 swap). I know purists say no bc it doesn't have a m vin, but it will have the heart :). I wouldn't use the whole m3 badge, just the m.

118Leave the god damn 325 badge alone. Despite your efforts, that's what it is.24.58%29Debadge that touring and surprise some minivans!46.61%55Throw the Motorsport m on it. You've put enough time and money into it to do what you want.9.32%11Technically it is now a 330, and you should use that instead.19.49%23Last edited by nl328i; 04-20-2013, 03:39 PM.1976 2002, 1987 325is, s50 1991 touring, 1996 328i vert

meh. I think maybe the /// triple stripe, but not the M. But that's all up to personal opinion. It's your car, do what makes ya happy, but just know it won't make everyone else happy. -
I would just hang a drift charm on your tow hook. Let's people know you're serious.

still a m3 no? M is not specifically for euro spec. just dont get M body panels and call it a M3. its M POWA. not M body panel power.Originally posted by george graves View Post
but badge-less looks clean as always. Its the motor that determines the car, not how it looks. looks are called styling.-FREEDOM- is cruisin at 80, windows down and listening to the perfect song-thinking "this is it"

His joke is saying all US-Spec e36 m3's are not real M powerplanted because they are m50/2 based engines, not real S-VIN engines. It's ok, you'll get it one day.Comment

if the internals are the same, what would it matter if its stamped with a s-vin or not? If it was not worthy BMW would have done something about it.-FREEDOM- is cruisin at 80, windows down and listening to the perfect song-thinking "this is it"

They did do something about it, it was called using an engine platform that could pass emissions regulations and putting cams and stroke to it instead of working the real M engine for that chassis to pass.Comment
