Thoughts on grill badge on E90





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...


I removed mine from the E34 awhile ago. Our local chapter blows.

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.
