To ///M badge, or not to ///M badge...

[Xat1cZ]

Ohh, sorry. I totally forgot that you can't do all of that to any other car in the world. But yeah, sure. An E30 M3 is miles ahead of every other E30 there is. Sure.....


Edit:

The E30 M3 was rad for a stock car. I'll give it that.

Taking into account this is r3vlimited, an E30 enthusiast forum, most cars here are modified beyond the performance level a standard M3 could dream of. Usually at a much lower price point too.

I clearly should've bought myself a Lada 1300 and slapped a set of coilovers and 2jz on it.. would've been much better than a stock M3 .. I feel stupid now

I know my m3 dreams of a megasquirt m30b25 swap with cut springs on vette salad shooters with a KN "cold air" intake filter and z3 short shift kit. Someday

The proper answer is not stated anywhere in this thread.

You need a badge that says "///M POWER" in a proper E30 badge font.

Someone needs to make these, no one does.

Fuck the rest of it.

Type R badge or GTFO.

^haha

Vote debadge, or 330i. M would be cool, but at the same time a little bit of mystery never hurts...

There are a few options like this on eBay. I was also looking at these, but I find the colours always look a bit off in the pics.

Also, not that it really matters but the m steerig rack, transmission, diff internals, and most of the exhaust are being swapped over.

i like debadged because i dont like any chrome bits on e30s except the grill.

i dont like ///m badges on anything but factory ///m cars.

[Cephas]

I vote debadge.

[straightsixe30]

labels are over rated.

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.

Ill donate you my genuine bmw oem m3 emblem and both side badges if you want to run them in the name of ricing use, I removed everything m3 related including engine cover to replace with non m and "320i" label.

I vote debadged OR a tasteful M-powered badge or M-power badge. This is true and it allows you to use the desirable M-tricolor stripes.

BMW never put a "m" badge on an m3. They were obviously made for non-m3s, what else would they be for?

Personally, i dont like extra badges, but in this case some of these purists are hilarously wrong. If it was an m3 bagde, that would be different, but in this case, do what you like. Your car is faster than almost any stock m3 of any generation!

Badge it 318i and just blow everybody away with your sleeper... lol
