Welcome aboard! To be completely honest with you, mostly everybody here or anywhere that is BMW related are highly against putting M badges on non-M cars...specifically M3 badges on the trunk where normally the 325 or 18 or 28 would be found. I dont so much as mind when it comes to having M floor carpets or stuff like that...but no badges stating it as an M3.

The car is looking very clean. My first car was a 1993 318i 4dr with the M44 i believe. She is to date the slowest car i have ever driven. Not much you can do to the motor to get power out from it so you should mainly focus on the suspension. They handle great if you do the right mods, the 4cyl is a fairly light motor

Motor needs a downing atlanta supercharger! That gets you near m3 territory. Now for the badges......ohhhhhhh the badges.......I really hate to be the nay sayer & dont like to be a negative nancy or anything BUUUUT take them god damned things off of there before I fly all the way down there and burn your car tho the ground . (what would be cooler would be to re-arrange the 318i badge to a 831i. I debadged my M3 and was thinking about putting a 318i badge on just to fuck with people not in the know) And I tell you one thing for sure, you get a LSD and somE more power, and you'll forget all abouts thems Hondas you will.
And sorry about the badge comments! Its just yuck-o to the max IMO.
Welcome aboard good sir, and congrats on your first taste of the wows and woes of bimmerdom!
