Custom Tag Question: E93M3 or E93V8

Looking for opinions on just these two options. No need for smart aleck remarks about custom tags. To save you the trouble, yes I am a poser who doesn't deserve such a fine machine.

Anyway my current tag is Holden (I had a Pontiac G8 which was made by Holden) and it makes no sense on the back of my car.

Thanks

I would think E93M3 makes more sense ... what do you think?

HOLDEN was a sweet tag for that car... a nice inside joke for a cool car (at least I thought it was cool).

I think both your choices are too boring and generic and you should put some more thought into it. Why did you pick that car? What's cool about it to you?

POSER would be funny as hell.

Tags are like little decals that go on plates in the US right? Why not get the M stripes ///

Or are these plates? Whatever. Why are you even asking.

I never understood why people get a plate that says what all the badges on the car already say. I particularly love things like RED BMW or MYTRUK. If you are gonna pay extra, at least add some cleverness.

99.9% of the general public will not even realize either one of those are vanity tags. I agree that our cars already have enough M3 logos so I would go for the E93V8.

It was intentional. I like the sarcasm mixed in with good thoughts.

First of all, its obvious to enthusiasts like us only.

And second, I think its pretty cool that it was still available and it will look very nice on the car. Classic
