    2 problems with this badge,

    i) - Its the same size as the rear badge (i.e. Too large)

    ii) - Its being shipped from Hong-Kong abd trust me, you never, NEVER want to buy anything on eBay from anywhere that says 'China, Singapore, Hong Kong etc' as the country of origin.

    Dear All,

    Normally I would be in agreemtn with you RE the whole badge thing. I have seen cars badged up as M3's when they are blatantly 318's or even worse 316's....

    However,

    When I got my car it didn't have a badge on the back. It looks like an M5 (as it has the body kit fitted) and so I (ahem) 'attached' an M5 badge........(sorry).

    Okay, well no-one is going to know (except all the thousands of people who use this site - bugger), but hey, It basically IS an M5 anyway.....

    Its got the factory fitted 'Sport' body-kit, Leather upholstery, M-Tech steering wheel and gear-knob, M-Tech suspension, M5 3.91 LSD and it is a 3.5 straight 6, so allthough not a 'stop-light killer' it is defo a 'Motorway Monster'....

    I have personally raced a REAL E30 M3 on the motorway. Pulled up along side him at about 60mph, he looked at my car, I looked at his.....He floored it, I dropped it to 3rd and floored it - He was well gone by the time (not long afterwards) that 140mph was registering on my clock......

    So yeah, I know that perhaps I shouldn't have. Thankfully I have the power to back-up my claim - but living where I do, there are NO 'real' M5's anyway and I just love the looks I get from Jonny-French-man when he sees a PHAT looking E34 that he thinks is an M5....

    Over here most cars are Diesel, you get quite alot of E34's, but they are all 'standard' and I am yet to see one that looks like mine.......

    Heres a couple of pics - all I need now is an M-Tech badge to go on the front grill.....
