N54 Badge

audi2bmw1 · 11-18-2008, 06:47 PM

i dig it

Novator · 11-18-2008, 07:09 PM

I was thinking that first, this should be a sticker if made as is. But if it mayber were adjusted to just say 1 or 128i, 135i, etc. maybe it would be a lot cooler and not be as awkward looking on the car.

I will try to make a better and bigger one tomorrow once my course is done for the day, just was playing around with Word Art and Paint. When I get back to Hawaii I will submit them to a print shop and see if I can make stickers. If you want to copy and paste to print them locally that's fine with me.

Novator · 11-18-2008, 10:47 PM

Tell me which one you like better, the first or the second?

neteagle · 11-18-2008, 11:06 PM

Don't need the sticker...my tag says:

"N54 PWR"

:headbang:

The second is better. But I wonder why we need the "1" on there:iono:...I mean is not it a bit obvious that the car is already a 1er? That is why I like the N54 thing. Only people in the "know" will get it. :wink:

M3R1 · 11-19-2008, 06:00 AM

The N54 badge might look good on a rear licence plate frame... :iono:

Just another idea...

N54tt · 11-19-2008, 06:49 AM

i like the second sticker!!!!

Novator · 11-19-2008, 02:56 PM

The reason I personally wouldn't want to make an N54 sticker is because it makes me think of how Japanese manufacturers "advertise" their engine control programs. To me its the equivalent of putting i-VTEC, MIVEC, VVT, VANOS/Valvetronic on the side. Also I don't know of anybody whose made a sticker listing their engine designation, though Dodge has made HEMI a household name. I came up with the 1 sticker because making an M badge on our car is a no no apparently though in markets other than the US and possibly North America, M Sports package cars get the badge. Well why not use the M Sport tricolor but with a 1 logo? It could replace 135i, 128i. I am just going to turn it into a sticker though, I like the look of it. I also like the second one better too.

Thanks for your comments

I did make an M themed N54 badge, I like to make everyone happy.

Mercedes has a "Kompressor" badge.....

Novator · 11-19-2008, 03:09 PM

N54 badge revision

Novator · 11-19-2008, 03:14 PM

True, true. Question though because I'm not sure, but isn't Kompressor Mercedes' diesel engines? Correct me if I am wrong.

PS-Just looked it up, so is MB's forced induction engine lineup. In that case, for us it would make more sense to make a turbo or bi turbo badge. That wouldn't be bad actually, more like the 2002 turbo badging

BMW started putting XDrive badges on the front quarter panels of AWD cars. It looks ridiculous.

+1...I don't understand the new naming convention. What was wrong with i/d/xi?

Novator · 11-19-2008, 03:30 PM

Very bored and playing with Word Art as you can tell . . .

atr_hugo · 11-19-2008, 03:34 PM

^ OK Mr. Bored, now place an N - 5 - 4 in the lower third of those '1's at about 2/3 the color density of the ones. ; -)

Novator · 11-19-2008, 04:00 PM

Like this, I also did one with the light silver.

atr_hugo · 11-19-2008, 04:06 PM

KEWL!! (If an old fahrt can say that ; -).

Novator · 11-19-2008, 04:20 PM

Glad you like it

Novator · 11-19-2008, 04:23 PM

I also did this one, "turbo" to kind of follow the 2002 turbo badging. If I am getting carried away, feel free to let me know, lol
