Is there a correct V12 emblem to use on the 850? I have notice several versions..does anyone know if 850 ever came with V12 emblem originally?

Thanks

Never on any E31 from the factory.

No, no, no! The E31 never came from the factory w/ any V12 "bling"! The "850" badging on the rear s/b plenty. I'd say leave well enough alone - this is not a M-B.

I was thinking of putting an emblem also it looks right...
and folks know what your packin.

i think that a couple of tiny emblems displaying what you DO have underneath is perfectly ok (obviously or else i wouldn't have put them on MY car). it's when people start puttin bs emblems like "///M", "/////AMG", "DINAN", etc. on a non tuned car that i get super turned off.

my emblems are incorrect. i miffed and now i'm living with them. i might change them later thanks to some fellow members tips. see the following thread and you'll see how to get the correct ones:buttrock

Please don't use a V12 badge. It's pretty arrogant...Laameeee.

Uh, wat?

I use 760i fender V12 badges for my fenders on my E38. Matches OEM (duh it is OEM).

I like the badges. And the only people that WILL EVER notice them MB badges are the people on the Internet in the 7 or 8 sections, and not even all of them will notice. What counts is how they look out on the road, not on the net, I say you did good.
I've been contemplating badges and may pull the trigger. I will go ahead and get the 760 badges since it was pointed out tho:D
Also I am in the works of trying to get spacers and springs for mine also. My rear rim offset is 20 and I haven't pulled the front rim yet so I don't know what size spacers to run with yet. But hopefully soon I will be pimpin it like you.

I love this with the Hybrid badge. I may go this route also, its just too funny!

Yesterday me and my wife pulled over to look at a Smart car For Sale and when we left she asked if I thought that anyone looked at us and thought that it was funny that we were looking at a 3 cly Smart car while rolling in a V12 8 series LOL

i agree.... if i were to do it over i'd get the bmw badges but i actually kinda like the mb ones. and no-one 'cept you folks will realize that. i ended up going with 15mm spacers on my rear rims... offset of 20. i must say that i do rub on occasion during "spirited driving" so you might want to go with 10mms. but i love the way they look! i have 25mm and will try 30mm in the front. offset of 20 as well. the springs, spacers, and badges made a huge esthetic upgrade in my opinion. peace!

I guess you can call me arrogant...I like the fact that when a car pulls in behind me..they know this isnt their grandpa's Taurus! Not a whole lotta cars rolling around with 12's under the hood!

Every man should drive a V12 and is OK to flash a badge if you wanted to.... (the OK part is my statement)
I darn sure flash mine and this what my license plate looks like :-) Now bite me if you feel like.... :-)

oh, and by the way i think that hybrid badge next to the v12 is freakin' hilarious!

i think they will know what it was when i drive off at the light

Ummm Does any one here think the E31 850 V12 is a humble car???
humble is a honda accord 4cyl , none of us got this car to not be seen its a stunner!
The car is AROGANT -------> Look at my Fine lines

I love my honda accord, So reliable.

It is only arrogant, if you can't back it up....
