        I'm kind of up in the air about this. When I got my new shift knob, I wanted to get the one with the three stripes on the top left corner (but couldn't find it in the elipse/oval piece). The only one I could find had the ///M logo in the middle of all the numbers, and I decided against that because my car isn't an ///M car. The stripes were fine with me because my steering wheel came with those same stripes on the bottom spoke. (M-tech 1)

            I agree... if its not an Motorsport engine, it should have M badging, at least on the exterior... However, what about the M stripes? My 318is came with the Mtechnic interior stock, your thoughts?

              when I finish my car I'm going to put an ///m badge on the front just to piss you guys off.

              the ///M3 badge is a whole different story though.

                ///M badges are A-OK in my book.

                they increase the resale value of the car!!! I swear!

                    I beat you to it a long time ago. Sorry champ.

                      Was wondering when you'd chime in. :D

                        I don't like any sort of ///M badges in most cases (like hamann's front grille), but certain cases could pull it off such as an original factory M-tech II that came with the badge, or a car like Ryans with an M engine.

                          I promise you, I had it off for a week. It didn't look right. I've got a M-tech spoiler, and I really don't care. You're stupid if you think I drive a M3.

                            The justifaction people come up with makes me laugh too "I have an M-tech spoiler." You don't drive an M3 and you aren't trying to pass it off as one, but your car is no ///M car by any means either, so what is the badge there to prove?

                              I like how it looks, and I really enjoy the reaction it gets.
