BMW Roundel fitted to Radiator cover *PICS* Also Opinions Needed!!

[Starscream]

Ok after seeing it done before I decided I liked it so much I would do it myself,

I think it fits very well with the M engine as there is no BMW Roundel on the engine cover (such as the 3.0 and 3.0si)
So I got a roundel from a board member, Who had already cut the 3 pegs off needed for the install so that saved me a little time,

I then glued it to the radiator cover and viola!
I think it looks great and should be there anyway,

Heres the pics!

Heres what I need your opinions about, I picked up a badge and want to hear what you think about it,
I just couldn't resist buying it, Even If I don't end up using it in the engine I like the badge,
Now I didn't stick it to the intake box, But I want to hear what YOU think of its placement there, A few people I asked said they liked it and it works well with the ///M badge already on the engine cover,
Personally, I'm on the fence with it, I like it, but I also like the look without it,

As mentioned Its not stuck just "placed" for the photos,
Let me know what you think!

I like the intake manifold badge, never seen that badge before. I think the roundel would add some color to the engine bay but I think it might be overkill. But then again the Z4 has like 5 roundels all over the car anyways.

EIGHT. Front, rear, side, and wheel caps. As Tina Turner might wail, "We don't need another roooooun-dellll."

Oh right forgot about the wheel roundels, plus the black plastic one in the engine bay as well as the steering wheel =]

Im not going to count all the ///M badges on the car either

I think theres over 20,

The roundel is staying, The ///-Power badge I'm not sure about, I like it with and without,

glad u liked the emblem...i was gonna put it in the same spot but decided against it.

i think it looks better w/o the power emblem....engine bay looks clean as is

Yup,
I think it suits the M engine bay,

I don't think the N52 Engine bays could get away with it (which I had before the M)
Theres already a roundel on the cover anyway and that would look too busy IMO,



I think the older 03-05 Z4's with the M54 all black engine bays would look good with it too,

I do like the roundel, although it takes focus off of the engine itself.

I like the Power badge by itself but not in the shot where you can see the M badge as well.

this the most minor mod i have ever seen. Who is going to look at your engine? The Z4M has enough ///M logos and plenty of BMW roundels. IMO if you want some engine bling then get a carbon fiber engine cover or an CF intake
