M Badge left or right?

[EQLEF]

A Z parked next to me a few days ago, I noticed the badge was on a different side to mine. I googled it and found that they all seem to be on the left. Mine is the blue one. I bought as an ex demo in 2006. Anyone got any ideas why it would be that side?

Enjoy your Coupe only kwerk :evil: :wink: On a real Zed, the key hole is on the right and on the ///M variant the badge sits proudly on the left?

I was going to say perhaps it had been debadged then someone attached a new ///M badge, but you mentioned it was ex-demo so should have been 'factory-fresh'. A bit unusual, but viva la difference

I’ll check mine

Your badge seems low and on the wrong side...and I don't see any keyholes ? My keyhole is chrome and quite visible. Not really performance issues so drive on and smile in your ///M.

...and I don't see any keyholes ?

Coupes have the keyhole within the BMW roundel

M Roadster / M Coupé:

Stick on top edge of adhesive tape (1) parallel to bottom edge of rear lid at distance (A).

Mark measurement (B) on top edge of adhesive tape (1).

Remove liner (protective strip for adhesive surface) from emblem.

Position emblem up against adhesive tape (1) and at measurement (B) and press down firmly.

Dimensions E85:

A = 76.5 mm
B = 172 mm
Dimensions E86:

A = 79 mm
B = 173 mm

Looks more resolved (due to no keyhole) without any badge to my eyes. But I can't stand badges so maybe that's just me.
