I could be wrong, but I think cars with M-Sport package come with ///M badges in other countries...

Doesn't bother me, at least it doesn't say Vtec-Tuning or Type-R...

Does the ///M badge on a 135i's steering wheel bother y'all? Its on my ZHP's steering wheel, shift knob and all four wheels. Is that "cheesy?" *Rolls eyes*

If silver is always shiny, why do you have to polish it? The mirrors on many Audi products have also been matte silver.

man, that looks sick! they should have just waited and gotten a 1M to do that to. and I agree, the M emblem kills it.

I assume you are referring to the gauges, in which I'd have to agree. It looks good. I wonder how they did it? Probably an LED swap out. White with red needles always looks good.

Hind · 03-16-2011, 04:16 PM

looks good.

I. Want. This. Color. Seriously, anyone know what brand of vinyl these Russians are using?

yes it bothers me a lot. would like to get rid of them all. just a marketing gimmick. if they would have replaced all the M crap with just bmw performance I would have been happy. you forgot the door sills.

HUH??^^ U have a problem with the M badge.. How about the AMG badge or the SRT8 badges or and other badge on a car that just symbolizes FUN....

Sylon · 03-16-2011, 06:56 PM

I love the matte silver, (or satin silver if you dont like the "matte" association), that shine really pops. But I REALLY love those gauges! I want those really bad! I hate the orange lighting in the 1 series.

pixelblue · 03-16-2011, 06:57 PM

I have a problem with it when it's used as a marketing ploy. Don't have a problem when it's on a true M

mm347 · 03-16-2011, 06:59 PM

Not sure what that lady's deal is...she said that she could not find anything wrong with the car - it does everything right (even the auto tranny, that she discredited the car for because it did not have a manual, from the outset worked better than expected) yet it's not for her

aacabriolet · 03-17-2011, 09:18 AM

Is there a custom LED behind the dials? Looks xenon blue/white ish rather than our standard orange illumination. I want!!

M3V10 · 03-17-2011, 10:50 AM

looks as if the body is made out of aluminium ! awesome job

Not on ZHP door seals...

If the car has an M-Sport package, then it should have an ///M badge IMO. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Just seems like there are a lot of other things in the world to be bothered by, its just a lil badge...

BTW, wasn't "BMW Performance" just born a few years back? Wouldn't that be a huge badge across your steering wheel? lmao

Happy St. Pats Day, have a drink on me!
