M valve caps for the 1M

Stock 1M valve caps = part # 36121120779

What about valve caps with the ///M Logo: overkill ?

Overkill IMO. As it stands there are already 7 ///M badges on the exterior of the stock car. I have to admit the caps look nice, though...

I have them, got them on a whim @ the stealer. Honestly, unless you're staring at the wheels you don't even notice. Save your money.

I got these on Ebay for less than $3 so for the price you can't beat it.

This is the valve cap I use. It's just on my rear wheels cause I didn't want to over do it.
it's because the car puts a smile on my face every time I drive it

Pure coincidence: yesterday these 1M pictures were posted on Autogespot:

Seems to be rather subtle instead of 'in yer face'.

I love Mmmm. I transferred mine from my Z3 M Coupe when I sold it for my 1M. They bring less attention than my bright orange trim ring on my start button .
