Will it work? Or should I save it for that possible future E30 or 2002?

\That is a great looking e36 M3.
I dunno about the badge. Just try it when you get the new car, and if it sucks, give it to zach...I mean save it for a different car.

I was thinking that's a great shot of the e90. Never saw it look better. Why doesn't BMWCCA have adhesion stickers? A nice non-commital way to wave the flag.

Someone needs to pshop it on the e90 pic. It looks great on your e36 (noticed it at the Nickfest), but for some reason looking at this e90 pic, I'm not sure it will look as good.

Because of how clean the front of the E90 looks, I would say skip the badge. It would clutter the grille.
TD please tell me you are getting those same rims. They look SWEET on that car.
The grille badge is cheesy no mater what model.
It would look worse on the E90 though...

Not so much...:vomit:
I removed mine from the E34 awhile ago. Our local chapter blows. :thumbdow: :thumbdow:

Those rims are on all 330i SP. So, yes.
I actually like them a lot too. They make the car, IMO. I don't think the car looks right with any of the other rim choices.

I could not agree more.

That's actually what I'm thinking as well.
IMO, it definitely looks good on the E46 and E36 (and probably would on the E39 and E34).
But I'm just not sure about the E90.

It looks like a pimple on the end of a nose.

I vote for a simple sticker. I have a BMW CCA sticker on the windshield of my Mazda3.

FYI, call or email the CCA and they will send you one of the newer cling on stickers. ;)

Wow, those wheels look a LOT easier to clean than the stock '03 E46 SP wheels; no finger width spoke channels.

More like a booger! :eeps:
The Type 162 rims rock. All the other E90 rim options reek.
And man, that really is an uncomplimentary camera angle for the front facia. I think it blows the big one. :dunno:

it doesn't help that they turned the wheel thinking it makes the car look cooler in pics

They are OK in the same way that off-white is an OK color for apartment walls.
In other words, boring.
BBS makes some nice wheels for the E90...

Yeah, this one guy has posted MANY pics of his car in that thread at E90Post and in almost every damn pic he has the wheel turned.

Best shot of an E90 I've ever seen. The wheels do look good, but the E46 wheels were better looking. These look heavy (from a guy with M138's...).
Black is the ONLY way to go with most Bangle cars, for sure.

Sorry, I was agreeing with you both.
Might this one look better?

I think they look good, but it's interesting how the arms (spokes?) get thicker as you move away from the center. This means that, pound per pound, these wheels will also act like they are heavier.
What's up with the new VW wheels?

It's not that.
I guess I've always felt that it negates some of the badge buyer image.
