A badge on my car

[e30foolio]

Pics of my new 93 325is, opinions please

Hey guys,

Ive been driving an e30 now for a few years, best car i have ever owned, but.....
I have moved on to the e36 now (will always keep my e30, was going to sell, but do not want to now)
I bought this 93 325is with 63k original documented miles from a private buyer in New York, (i live in washington state) but i do not actually get it for another 20 days (damn delivery takes a long time)


It has a full AC Schnitzer body kit ( side skirts,front airdam, rear skirt and trunk spolier) AC performance chip and AC cold intake, but on the rear of the car is an AC schnitzer badge.

question being ( or asking for advise) should i remove the AC badge?, (dont want ot be a poser) or do you think the car now has the right to dawn such a badge?

DAMN! it does not get picked up till Oct 3rd, then it will take 2-3 weeks for delivery, it is driving me crazy! i wish i could cryogenitcally freeze myself for the 3 weeks!

My friend has a 95 325ic he has let me drive it, and i have fallen in love

thanks for comments and or suggestions

Ok, sorry about the pics, Had to open them with paint and then trim it out so it would fit on the posts.

please let me know what you think, also, it was 13500 with the shipping

If you like the badge-keep it, if not just remove it. I don’t think it would be posing because you have the packages. I prefer stock or packages such as yours or Dinan and so on. I think the only time you would need to worry about posing is if you buy a logo and slap it on with none of the options. I was following a Z3 last week that had the “Z3” logo on the back, and also “DINAN” and “///M.” The car at most had the premium package on an otherwise standard Z3. This I would say is a true example of posing.

I say considering all the AC stuff on the car, leave the badge you earned it! That is how Dinan does it, buy enough, get a badge.

Cool, thanks for the replys!

Keep it, if you like. The car deserves to wear that badge. Nice car

I say keep it, you have the parts from AC, it is not saying it is a M3 which is a different thing. Like putting a Cobra badge on a regular Mustang GT. The M3 thing gets to me on a non M3, AC does make alot of parts besides the engine mods. Just my 2 cents. Nice car by the way.

Keep it, I think it looks pretty cool!

lol, I've got an ACS badge on the back of my car on the left side of the trunk, opposite the 325i badge. after reading this i'm hoping that I have enough ACS stuff to keep the badge on. I've got a performance chip, front lip add-on spoiler and ACS Type II 17" rims. maybe now i have a good excuse to buy some ACS springs and strut bar

i think i know the rims you are talking about, those are nice

everyone who read my idea about badges knows my answer. you got the stuff, you wear the badge!

i agree with wadula. nice car by the way. I am kinda in the same boat as you. But i am waiting on my car to come out of the body shop. i should pick mine up on sat mourning. then ill have new picks up.

Nice!, i hate the waiting game...

When it arives Ill post some more detailed pics of it, i am so damn excited!

what are you having done at the body shop?

It will be a few months, but i hope to soon lower it a bit, with bilstien shocks, not sure on what springs, Ive had eibachs on my e30 for @ 2 years now, no sagging yet at all, so i may stick with them, want coilovers from bilstien, but they are like $1300 ouch.. I am broke from a bit now due to this car, but I hope it turns out to be worth every penny, It is amazing to me that a 93 only has 63k miles on it.
here is the inside, nice beige interior
