It looks dam good to me. I have always has a soft spot for the 328;s. In fact, i prefer them to the E36 M3's.
Erm... E36? It is one.

I see, what an informative reply!
Oh and the 328 is nice. Love the colour and it looks in fantastic condition!

She looks lovely Ross - congrats on finding a beauty!
have to say I look forward to watching your progress as it's exactly what I'm hoping to do with mine - when funds allow of course! I'm also of a very similar opinion in terms of keeping it clean and subtle...
talking of which - how much did that remap set you back and where'd you get it done?
also whereabouts are you in london? - I'd love to meet up and compare one afternoon.
Re the M badges - mine is also covered in them - something to do with it being a sport variant I believe from research. Most appear to have been dealer fitted (they're still doing it on the latest variant!), but you'll always get someone who'll dress theirs up, yes I know its 'only' a 328 and shouldn't wear the 'M', but it does share quite a few of the components.. and to be honest I don't see the harm as long as it doesn't have a '3' following the M - those who know their stuff will know what it is..
alternatively you can do the opposite and re-badge it as a 316 which neil bolton's done - guaranteed to surprise a few people!
enjoy it!

The 316i badge is a vital performance enhancement for me 
The Sport variants such as mine and this chaps one come with the M-Sport bodykit as standard, which obviously will include M badges
Mine did have a solitary M badge on its rump when I brought it, but I was frankly mortified at people thinking I had an M3, and consequently rebadged it.
When I get my E46 M3 in a year or so's time, I'll do exactly the same, however I don't think I'll be able to get away with it quite so convincingly
lol yes neil,it has got a M3 lip spoiler but no,im not an M3 wannabe,i love the 328i power delivery and you are right in saying its not far off the pace of the M3,M3 EVO though is a different story lol,
The 328i sport came with the M logos because it was the sport,Had as standard....M front/rear bumpers,M seals,and the 328i sport also came with AVUS suspension but mine had been changed now anyway,
I wouldnt want to turn it into an M3,The sport is a lovely car ,pulls like a train and does suprise alot of other and even newer cars today.

Very nice car though. Looks to have been looked after. Have you thought about putting a 325 inlet manifold on it? Cheeky easy mod!!!! A friend has done it with great results.
