To badge or not to badge?

F82_SID · 01-05-2011, 12:11 PM

What do you guys think about de-badging M3's? Of course I am proud that I am driving an M3 but I think the clean back end like in this pict also looks really sleek. Do you guys have any picts of de-badged M3's?

If I do that I'd remove the BMW roundal too!

Gkap · 01-05-2011, 12:18 PM

To me it depends on the car.

I personally wouldnt debadge an M3.

James T. Kirk · 01-05-2011, 12:21 PM

I think it's quite classy to consider de-badging an M3. Very understated.

Usually, guys with lesser models de-badge and mod-up to make their car look more like an M. How cool would it be for someone to be so confident that they would de-badge one of the most prestigious logo in the industry?

I debaged my Z4 M Coupe. It had 1 in the rear, and 1 on each side. After a while it looked so "empty" without badges. So I put the one on the back. I kept the sides debadged. It looks very clean.

put 123d badge instead, one of my favorite badges in BMW.

If that's what you feel was an extra 20 grand then go ahead and throw some 22s on it with a couple of 12 inch subs in the back, add some chrome door handles while your at it.

Don't take advice from the guy driving the convertible in the snow.
I got a matte black M3 badge instead.
