Sam Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Went for No. I like it, although most know the series. by the way, you checked this box "Multiple choice question? (Allows users to select more than one choice)" when making the pole, so i could select all of them. I've changed it for you tombo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJD Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 My 330d was badged, as is my 330ci. I did have the 530d debadged as it looked too big on the back IMHO. I have seen one fellow clubsport owner remove the 'i' from the Ci and add an 's' to make the badge read (for those who can't imagine already ) 330cs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robfenn Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I appreciate some people debadge them so they don't feel ashamed they have a small engine, but tbh i think all cars look better without... just looks cleaner and i like the symmetry!

Also people can just look at the size of the discs to know its not a 318 well maybe It could be a CSL sleeper, where you have removed the 73" Brembo setup and switched it for a more modest setup so as to scare the most sleepy Lambo drivers out there!!!! It could happen........just look at youtube.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooney Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I personally like the look of it debadged, but I have a few reasons why I wouldn't: 1: I like how the BMW boot number is styled. Maybe if it was a bit more basic/plain I would take it off. 2: If I debadge, I would worry that people think I have de-badged to cover up that I am not 100% satsified at the engine size of my car, where as I am quite satisfied and don't feel the need to hide it. It does annoy me that after I have cleaned the car that I often miss specs of dirt that just love sitting around the number though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
