If they’re obscenely powerful, this is a family website. :lol:

Your headlamps background looks very dark for OEM. But it could be the lighting in my sauna.


Lemmie see if that's true! LOL ! I am looking for 600 to 650 whp with these.

It’s an old pre 2012 E89..they never had M badges at that time..the later badges didn’t look like that either…
....But coming to think of it, her is the M badge on the door sill plate.

Your car looks like msport spec rather than se spec so will have a couple of other m badges dotted around like on the steering wheel and gearstick, unless you have swapped the originals out.

It’s an MSport spec it’s just the badge on the rear flank is definitely not an OE type or location..geeky level of detail..
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

So you're an advocate of keeping everything original?

The OP asked if the badge was part of the original spec ..it wasn’t

Folks can keep their cars stock or modify them in whichever way they want to as far as I’m concerned…but if they ask for an opinion then… :tumbleweed:

That’s quite the fabrication skills !

Do you fabricate extended paddle shifters for the e89 ? Asking for a friend. :lol:
