IMO, there's really no stylistic purpose to this mod rather than to brashly show off. I just imagine myself walking to my car with my GF, especially at an event with maybe either family or casual friends.... or just around normal, uncaring-about-cars type of people, and them seeing me open my doors to that gaudily projected "logo". I'd literally be embarrassed for myself (she would probably literally want to duck and hide and that taste/style of hers is one of the many reasons I'm attracted to her). Seems like a Pep Boys type of thing. Same thing goes for that hideously Flava-Flav cheese that Mercedes is OFFICIALLY doing, which is selling an Option to have the big Star in your Benzes grille lit up. This tells me two things: Mercedes has officially jumped the shark and are no more the classy, sophisticated brand they once were, and 2: Mercedes is clearly not trying to fight the fact that they and their Star grilles are the preferred choice by the "Jersey Shore" (show, not pertaining to actual residents necessarily) crowd, in fact they're embracing and clearly promoting it with such mods (let's not get into the haphazardly mashed-together look of the upright E Class with that awkward implementation of the Star grille). Idk, I'm usually pretty 'lax when it comes to certain show-mods. M Colors, certain decals, etc. I can understand. But these things go too far for me, personally.

M stripes I agree in theory are show-offy, however BMW themselves ruined the "sanctity" of them when they officially badged M Sport cars with them all over. Therefore IMO ///M stripes on an M Sport car now is simply just stylistic treatment. Though I'll give you that they can be put in the same argument/context as a BMW hologram image. I guess it comes down to personal taste. To me, M stripes are in line of "tastefully show-off", while a huge BMW hologram crosses the line. Results may vary and obviously I'm not free from gimmicky unnecessarily show-offy things considering my views on aesthetic M stripes (I just think the colors and format look so cool on BMW's).

IMHO most BWM mods are fairly douchy. This one to me seems fairly classy, actually.
I think it would draw some eyes if you were to valet your car and that was shining down. Much better mod than fugly ass wheels and ricer tail lights. |

LMAOO at everyone's recent posts
Seriously though, I think it looks quite classy and unique. Very subtle too. Each to their own opinion though. TBH someone is going to be "wow, that looks awesome when they see it" and others "thats disgusting" but they are not driving our cars right, so do what you want. Except M badges on a non-M. NO NO NO lol Everyone has a unique style when it comes to modding, and that's why I love the BMW community

I have a pair of these (bmw logo) if anybody is interested. They are bright and good resolution on the logo. I took mine out and I had them installed in my 2015 550ix. PM me if interested.
