I have a neighbor in Korea who put an M3 Emblem on his 330Ci Coupe.

i mean, no one will know you don't have a Type-R GS

Thats kinda sad dude. Be proud of your investment. So many people would die to roll a 300.

What if you put a 300 badge on a 430. Can you say "sleeper" Even that would be dishonerable, but not as much.

My friend did the exact same thing. Even bought the M3 rims for it.


I guess he's going to make a few ricer boys feel like they're on top of the world when he tries to race them

btw, even admitting that he is a "friend" of mine makes me feel terrible

If you're going to do the Benze take-off, do it all the way...600 along with your choice of Brabus, AMG or for a fusion blend Mopar, Bow-Tie or Cobra/SVT....

I know it's sort of a beaten topic, but I see so many CLK- and S-classes with badge knockoffs (esp. if we are talking about AMG badges, man don't go there ), it's not even funny anymore.

I do have the HID's to match the yellow fog lights. I mean the way I see is people buy the new +01 lights to give the car a newer look, why not put new badges as well.

Then everybody can see you're a poser and walk away laughing as they go to look at a real 430.

Very beaten.
This has probably existed since there were varying trim lines offered for a particular chassis/body.

Taillights and emblems are two totally different things. The 01 lights are on all new 3's and 4's. I just dont know why you wouldn't be proud of what you do have. If anything put a v300 on... j/k


Quick Reply: GS 400 or 430 Black emblems
