emblem shaving

3me · 05-31-2008, 02:05 AM

now i am getting my 325i in monday. is shaving emblems a good thing? i love how they look without but what are the odds of scaring away a potential buyer when trying to sell the car? is it worth it?

i did it
looks great

i like the way it looks
but if you plan on selling it just keep it and ask your dealer to put them back on
if they can

Vendors on this forum sell these if you happen to lose them anyway

Taking off the roundel or debadging? I have never heard of anyone taking off the roundel. Sounds weird but I geuss its your car.

Mattscott · 05-31-2008, 10:22 AM

he never said roundel

Also just FYI, it's called "debadging" I think it looks great and I have debadged my car as well as many many others on this forum

Shaving the emblems? How long have you had the car? Is it already shaggy?

Just make sure you use a good moisturizing gel, and there shouldn't be any irritation...

take of roundels = your car is worth as much as a camry. J/k.

Debadging is good i think, mine is debadged, and my old E36 was debadged too. I like the clean look, pure and simple.

It's a no cost option to have your car made "debadged" (at least in Europe) I can't see how this would affect the value.
