Black M2 CS badges (poll added)

ScullyD · 01-17-2021, 06:52 PM

Makes sense to me for anyone with HS or AW to order Black badging from iND. BSM makes sense to stay with chrome badges. I guess MB is a toss up. I think the chrome stands out on MB well enough to leave it alone.

Yeah, that's what I said. I got black chrome badges. I posted a pic so people can see. My point was that they look very similar to the black gloss ones I had for my M4... not a big difference.

Yes you did say that, I just didn't read it the first time 🙂
They look great! Can't wait to see em on!

IND Gloss black

Looks great!

I am debating this. My M2 competition badge is black and looks great on my Hockenheim silver car (good contrast) and I have the M perf exhaust that is black/CF.

I think if my CS was silver I would do the black badge. However, my CS is Misano blue and I think the silver looks good on it and goes when the silver exhaust tips.

I don't think anyone can go wrong with the OEM silver or painted black.

Are there any images of the grille with a black badge?
Is that even available?

IND Gloss black

Looks good, it's a bit hard to see but I think that's the picture.

That looks like the painted roundel also, which looks amazing.

MomoM3 · 01-18-2021, 08:40 AM

I am so undecided about chrome vs black. Especially since my OCD will make me paint the front grille badge black too.

Now I am leaning towards OEM chrome to preserve the originality of the CS line.

If you think about it, the only BMW badge that has come in OEM black is the Competition line and that's it.

That's what I'll be doing

OEM sounds like a good idea to go with

Black chrome on BSM for me

As mentioned in the thread, masking where factory chrome emblem is positioned will help.

Just PPF'd my car, thinking about leaving it without the badges, what do you guys think?

CarJunkie · 02-21-2021, 05:03 PM

Looks clean! I would at least put the license plate back on.
