This is good timing! My car came de-badged and I would like to add a badge to the trunk.

My main questions are: should I put 2800CS since that is the original model, or 3.0CS since it now has a M30B30 engine swapped in? I guess that’s more of a matter of personal preference.
Also, the original mounting holes have been filled and painted, so I’m wondering should I drill new ones for the install, or grind the tabs off the badge and attach with adhesive? Or go with a plastic emblem from eBay, which (I know) is not the same exact font but is cheaper and lighter and therefore less likely to fall off if stuck in with adhesive?

Your question is kind of moot as "2800" badges are only available if you can find them used; I don't believe that repros are offered by anyone.

The "C" and "S" badges on my coupe came without pins, so I stuck them on with double-sided tape. They have held well. The mass of a pot metal badge isn't that different from a plastic one; both are pretty light.

not the same look or quality. IMHO, i would buy the CS from max. finding the 2800 might be more difficult, but you should check on some of the German sites listed in the FAQ - top sources

There are a couple on eBay. One has scratches, the other has a blurry picture. But the price is good.

And if I remember, the 3.0 CS has the CS attached as one piece, but the 2800 has C and S separate right? So the CS set from max would be correct to pair with one of these 2800s?

But will they fit my car, since I don't have the round taillights?

I remember getting a spare 2800 and C and S emblem set not long after I got my car. I think I got mine from Jaymic (in the UK) about 15 years ago. I had the ones on my car - but I remembered not being able to get the 2002 emblem for my 02 for nearly the entire time I had it, so... when I saw they had old stock ones for the Coupe - I jumped on it. Those emblems are on the car now. Similar to when BMW reissued the trunk tool kit housing. Mine was falling apart and I was on the lookout for a new one. When the new ones became available (for about $300 if I recall) - I got one of those as well. That part is also on the car now (but not with any tools).
