The ‘L’ idea is precious!

It’s one of those things. Those who know, know it’s not a M. Those who don’t, won’t get it.

Like we say at the track, do you talk on the track, not in the carpark. (Or with badges.)

So the conclusion is that for those who expressed a preference the significant majority said no… :thumbsdown:

Also on my grannies and boys under 10 test no one was interested in the M badge..but they did like yellow :thumbsup:

Therefore it is decreed that Yellow Peril the 5th shall not carry any M badges save those on the 437M wheels where I ask for forgiveness. :tumbleweed: :rofl:

SmartBear and Silverstar…

Yes the 437M AFAIK has that ‘diamond cut’ finish…

These are refurbished ones in satin black..

Personally the OE look was one of the major reasons why I didn’t consider them..

However someone on the forum flagged these on eBay and thought there is the answer….haven’t quite have worked out how to explain this to SWMBO why I now have 2 Zeds with 5 sets of wheels… :tumbleweed:
