I don't think you get the point: your opinion in terms of what's right from wrong versus what the makers of the car decided to do is 100% irrelevant. So you saying it is "wrong" has no validity what-so-ever. BMW, and only BMW, has the right to determine this.

Who really cares this much about an engine cover sticker anyways? It seems to me like some people in here should be playing with barbies instead

I think it looks upside down. I do think it looks 'balanced' in the photoshop'd picture.

///M1 · 06-29-2011, 08:32 PM

Can you order the car (engine) de-badged? :-) Then slap it on the way you like yourself. I do agree, seems better 'flipped' as per the photoshop

I think its going to look weird either way you do it. Lol. I for one won't be staring at my engine all day just listening to its wonderful music!!!

shawshank772 · 06-30-2011, 01:41 AM

Its probably because we read left to right, then top to bottom. Thats why it looks upside down to me atleast.

Perhaps you could convert the car to front wheal drive and rotate the whole engine to suite?

EmmDrei · 06-30-2011, 03:11 AM

I don't really get where exactly the problem is. I didn't like the seats, I had other seats put in. I was missing something on the trunk lid, I got the performance spoiler. I don't like the shift setup, I get it changed. So if someone has a problem with the way a sticker is put on the car, what's wrong with changing that? It's HIS car, right? I haven't bothered with mine, as someone here rightfully said... I don't have my hood open all day long, but I share the "wrong way round feeling". And if it get's on the ops nerves, what's wrong with changing it? So let's just see if anyone can actually provide some valid info how the badge can be taken off without tearing half the car apart.

Leif W.

One of the TG guys from Down Under(

) thought the same?

Anyway the letters should be pointing towards the right of the car instead of the left? That's what you are saying? If so:Agreed.

Cheers
