Well, there was a thread on the "///M3 logo that doesnt lit up on the instrument cluster"...... so while I had the cluster opened, I noticed this.... (sorry for the quality, I used my cell phone) :rolleyes
This is the logo.... its right above the CHECK light on my 1993 Eurospec M

the back of the logo...... you can see the check light right below it...

A front view of the circuit board... the big bulb you see in the middle is the one that provides light to the center part of the console...

A close up of that bulb, right below it, there is a box, right inside of that box, is where te ///M3 logo is located... but since its enclosed on that plastic box, the light doest not reach the logo...

I figured, there is an easy way to provide light to that logo, just make a little hole on the top of the plastic box, right below the bulb, so whenever you turn on the lights, that bulb will turn on, and the logo will be lighted....
Before I go ahead and make the little hole (or cut) on that piece, I decided to try something else, there was a little bulb on the AIRBAG indicator, but I have no airbag, so I removed it, and placed right behind de ///M logo....
This is the location of the airbag bulb that I removed.... (since I dont have airbags on my car)

This is where I installed that bulb......... right below the green plastic in the middle..... (that green thing is the back of the big bulb you saw on the frontal view)
