if you do decide on something custom, i could do it in cut vinyl. lmk if you want any other graphics for this car. i'd be more than happy to help.

IDK if there will be any graphics on the car, but if there are, you'll get the call! Thanks man...

If you ever move to an LS powerplant, you can always do G///M

You're clever... I see what you did there, lol!

I have like 800 photos, probably close to 1000 by the time it's done. I could make another thread, but it would be tough to get them all posted while keeping anyone from posting in the thread. Maybe when I get it done I could do it... and see if I could get it locked, so no one could post in it...

you should just make a massive photo album. I've never heard of a 1000+ album though. It'll be epic.

Eh, leave it blank and keep them wondering. ;)

+1 they'll figure it out when they're gettin burned on the freeway and track.

we don't need no stinkin' badges !!

[bmwmech1]

This. People are going to visually identify it as a M3 already, there's no way to tell it began life as a 325e. Might be fun to badge it as an "e" car though.

This is what I've been leaning towards all along. Not really correct to badge it as an M3, a 325e or anything, for that matter... Visually, you're correct... the silhouette is unmistakably M3, but the pedigree is not. No reason to pose it as such. Especially since the drivetrain is not M and the modifications list is immense... I think no badge-ing... It is so well known from the build threads, that I don't think there a very many who don't know what it is anyway...

Maybe I could badge it as an Me or an eM, lol...

In that case, the badge should say G3. :)

I approve of this. In the same font as M3 this would be awesome!

No badge, seriously. Badging implies BMW built the car.

///M badge and leave it at that. Great progress. I come back to r3v only for hans and this build.

[bmwmech1]

Blasphemy!

It's clearly an ///M344

Maybe 344iM? Maybe I should do a poll, lol...

[bmwmech1]

So here's a question... Do you put a M3 badge on it when it's done? :)

I don't think I will... it's clearly more an M3 now, than a 325e, but I honestly haven't thought that far ahead. I don't know what badges it will get, if any...
