Ready to get flamed

ssc330d · 04-15-2012, 09:20 AM

I am fully aware of the majority opinion of M/// badges on non M powered vehicles, so I am wondering what the general verdict is of what my car came with?
Its a 330d msport, I got it last month and this is how it came.
The reason I am asking is that, while I do agree with not putting M/// badges on, I actually quite like this. Kind of says "Msport" but not "M powered"? Well maybe anyway.
I await my bashing!!

Honestly speaking, who cares what others think? If you like it, then by all means keep it as you are the one making the payments, not anyone else.

davyk31 · 04-15-2012, 09:33 AM

I would loose it personally.

BMW think it's appropriate to stick one on the steering wheel so why isn't it appropriate to have one on the grill - I don't think I'd bother personally but it looks OK so whatever floats your boat

It's not an M badge, so it's not clownage.

It does, however, look silly.

This kind of sums up my thoughts but it's your car so it's your opinion that matters.

edowen · 04-15-2012, 11:00 AM

it's a no from me too, sorry.

atown88 · 04-15-2012, 11:01 AM

I too don't really feel it.

Kinda +1 on that.............

chris330D · 04-15-2012, 11:11 AM

Looks like it has been stuck on as an afterthought.

Billyray911 · 04-15-2012, 02:03 PM

Its your car to do with it what you will.Some will approve,others not..
Personally,I was expecting you to get more of a bashing with an AC Schnitzer avatar and a 330d on the driveway!

wayne71 · 04-15-2012, 02:08 PM

I wouldn't offer a negative opinion voluntarily but as you asked I'd have to say it looks pretty shit.

makkan00 · 04-15-2012, 02:21 PM

Who spent the money to buy this car???

YOU.

Who decided to buy car with this badge???

YOU

Who will decide whether it stays on or get removed???

YOU

willhollin · 04-15-2012, 02:55 PM

You need a matching one for the other grill.

He didn't ask if he has the right to do it. He just wants to know what others think.

Most things we do in life are to impress others, some people don't like to admit it and will swear they care nothing of what others think but sub-consciously it matters to everyone. It's just human nature.

My personal recommendation would be to remove it, it's too subtle to be called clownage but it looks out of place.

rickyjones1209 · 04-15-2012, 03:16 PM

I think it looks alright as it isn't too noticeable. It's quite subtle.

I probably wouldnt go out of my way to add it but wouldn't be in a rush to remove it.

Keep it if you like it mate

Swiller · 04-15-2012, 04:09 PM

Why would you want to keep it on there? It is only advertising something you haven't got.
If you think it will increase the cool factor then you need help. All it says is "I am a monumental tit."
I would not have bought the car as it speaks volumes about the previous owners.

Jules59 · 04-15-2012, 04:32 PM

Your car, you do what you like with it.
For what its worth I like understated cars and your little badge is very nice. Where did you get it?
I might put one on my 330D next to the TURBO, N2O injection and 4x4 stickers
