My Badge!

MrAdams · 01-29-2009, 01:00 PM

I know this has probably been talked about already so don't put

because I did. And I found no polls on this

I am thinking about removing my ///M3 badge. Is it dishonoring to the ///M or no biggie?
I feel it will look a little cleaner and this way only car people will know what's going on
SO!...Should I take it off or leave it alone?...

KonigsTiger · 01-29-2009, 01:08 PM

I think it looks subtle and good.

J08M3 · 01-29-2009, 01:10 PM

You should replace it with a C63 AMG badge.

montreal red · 01-29-2009, 01:14 PM

i am going to take off the 3 and just leave the M badge on ... also thinking of replacing the M with a matte blk one.

I think to use the word "dishonoring" is a bit over-dramatic. Like others have said, it's subtle enough to leave on, but if you think it looks cleaner than take it off. You can always put it back on later.

I share the same philosophy as you do, but apparently people on M3Post are very aversive to the idea of debadging the car. I'll show you pictures tomorrow when I do the smoked side marker lens and complete the debadge process. I went a little extreme to shave off the side grille M3 badges as well.

This is what the side grilles look like now, but the lens will be tinted tomorrow:

How about replacing it with a 335d badge, that'll throw some bitches off.

Taking it off makes you lose $20k.

DevJ · 01-29-2009, 07:36 PM

if you debadge it, remove the 3 first and take a pic!

I can recall when seeing an M3 being in awe of the car. This was many years ago but I don't believe the reputation of the M3 has diminished at all.
See this car is enough to make some people do a double take. If they don't recognize what they are looking at they will look for the badge. When they see it's an M3 and they've heard about them they will be in awe as well.

It's an amazing car. Why would you remove the badge?

spyderco10 · 01-30-2009, 02:09 AM

only debadge if you're driving a hyundai

Ken.T · 01-30-2009, 02:49 AM
