320i M-sport - no emblem?

[Stressed]

Hi!

I have a '03 320i (attached photos).
It came with no badge/emblem at all in the rear. Is that correct? Shouldn't it have a rear identification 320i. Regarding the M-sport, wheels, steering wheel and other parts are identified with the ///M emblem. Should there be anything in the rear?


Thanks,
Stressed

I would assume that someone debadged it. And no even if you have the M suspension, steering wheel, etc. your car would not have come with an "M" badge as it is not an "M", but a 320 with some "M" upgrades.

When you buy a new bmw and select all the options/extras you want, one of the few "free" options is to have the car with no badge. if you bought your car second hand my guess is that the person who you bought it from ticked the box to have no badge on the back. if you bought your car new it could have been that someone made a mistake down the processing line..

LOL !!! Not Bad at all !!!

I've seen it! Been there Done that??,,I always think that shaving and de-badging emblems will tend to look a bit cleaner,depending how much character the rides has.But yours look just fine to me!!

I think it's wrong to put an ///M badge on the rear of a non-M3. You can slap that logo on the upgraded parts, but the big fat ///M badge should be reserved for M3's in my opinion. If the car was debadged (sounds like it), it's prolly only missing the 320i badge.

I'd just leave it off.

I agree, I have a 320 with the M upgrades but the only badge on the rear is '320i'. I'd love an M badge one day - on the rear of an M3 or M5.
