That's how I feel and that is my honest opinion. I've had non ///M's and I now have an ///M I wouldn't think about badging my non ///M cars as M's. You can make a very good Clone of an ///m BUT that is all it is a clone. There are things you cannot change such as the door plate an Vin numbers to ///M spec. people are gonna do what their gonna do But personally I think it is stupid to try to make a non ///M into an ///M for the same cost(Most the time way less) you could have the real thing and not a wannabe clone.... call me a traditionalist or what not but at the endo of the day look that the door plaque does it say M? no.....
^ nope not legally mine till it is payed off:Pyou don't get squat on the other hand the e30 is in your name :P oh also gay marrage is illegal in cali so the marrage is void

M3's look better. That is why one would want their car to look like an m3. I don't see anything wrong with that. BMW has been known to sell their non-M cars with the same aero kits as the M3 or the M5 from the factory.
If I hold on to my 328i, you can bet money I will put M3 bumpers on it, as well as an M5 trunk lip spoiler.
as weve all been saying you can do what you what with your cars just dont stick an m badge on it because what ever you can possibly do to it,it will never be a m car as it wasnt when it left the factory (theres nothing wrong with modifying it!)
I saw an e46 318i vert yesterday with M side gills (fitted too low), M front bumper, the tiny stock exhasut pipe and 19" chrome pimp-style wheels
didn't even know you could get rims that ugly over here
oh btw I would never put an M badge on my car... what I like tho is underbadging or keeping the original badge after an engine swap
my brother has the 324d badge on his swapped e30
what I don't like is deleting manufacturer emblems... if you're ashamed that you drive a VW or an Opel why did you buy one?
hey steady there no need to be cheeky lol it s just a standard 150bhp at the moment but ave only had it three months, i have lowerd it mind sitting sweet now
The Z3 2.5i should be putting out about 290bhp now, with much of the real power and torque lying in the upper range of the RPM's (5500-6900. The rev limiter was increased to 7K by the ECU reprogram/remapping that was done by GIAC as part of my supercharger install and calibration.
I is rapidly becoming spoiled and drunk with power now that I live with teh supercharged M3-S3R...I am stunned at how fast that happened.
