Default Badge opinion: 328ti turbo or turbo 328ti ?

Hey Guys,

Cars getting ready for the turbo to be installed. I'm looking to update the badge on the back of the car and I thought I'd ask for your opinion on which would look the best.

There's 4 possible options:

TURBO
328 ti

or

328 ti
TURBO

or

328 ti

or

leave it as a 318ti

What would you get?

I vote 328ti, no "Turbo"...

Too many idiots out there with stick-on Turbo emblems on cars that are obviously NOT turbos (ie: 1989 Hyundai Elantra's with primer black hoods, steelies and every other plasti-chrome badge from Pep-Boys)...

Of course you could always badge it 328tit

He was not referring to tit as a part of a woman's anatomy.

I would vote for 328tii, it is very subtle and the only people who would get it are true enthusiasts. Check out the 1 series concept the 135tii, twin turbo, weight dropped, aero, signature paint job... Cool car something to give a taste as to what the new 'M1' would be like.

Appreciate the feedback Keep them coming

Considering 328ti and 328tii. As much as I like the 328tit idea, I'm going to have to modify another ti badge to get it to be tit.

Have you considered no badge at all and surprising people with what you've got?

I had 328tii and no one got it. Even with 328ti I get people who say, I didn't know BMW made a 328ti.

I say 328ti also.

What about ///m3? You would fo sho get mad props. Everybody would be way scared, they wouldnt even try to race since they know how fast cars are with a ///m3 badge. Just joking, I thought someone would have said this by now, so I figured I would get it over with.

tifreak that is a great idea too, I always loved how it says turbo in someone's review mirror when the 02 is coming up fast. I am not sure where you could put it since we dont have such a big lip on our cars.
