oh my, that's some good inspiration right there! M badges.. interesting. 

My understanding is all Kiwi HD12's had the model delete option.

I decided to remove the ///M badges from the front and rear and instead used the 535 part from any old e34 badge but added the square "is" part from a US 325is to create what the 535is badge would have looked like.

I've seen people use the square 535 but the italic is and it just doesn't look right to me.

So my car would have had M badges front and rear? Do you have any other pictures of yours on the forum (couldn't fine any!).

There have been photos over the years by various people but not by me in a long time.

I have done a bit more tidying on the BMW. Boot spoiler back on.. Next lil project is the front bumper tidy and refit fog lights. Oh I got it a WOF now so hopefully can participate in any local meets. (have painted the black bumper inserts since these pics!)

So, don't know if I should start a new thread some where else. But I have been busy trying to improve this old beast. Had a crack.. at the front bumper got the fog lights installed and working. Then it decides ohh I might start playing up, random misfire on idle and low revs blah blah. Read all the internet had to offer checked all mater of things. Cps had perfect ohm reading, maybe ill check the gap. Supposed to be about 1mm but I can even get a .01 feeler gauge in there. Found the issue, corrected gap and shes running like a champ! Happy 😊
