Debadge?

macheff03 · 05-03-2019, 02:09 PM

Ok so nothing too special... 06 325i but not sure if I like the debadged look better or worse than the badged look.

Wouldn’t be replacing it just taking it off...

White car so I think it would look nice but just like to hear opinions.

What else is popular to do?

I love the debadged look. So much so, I'm probably going to remove the M3's badge as well. It just looks so damn clean.

I have my 335 debadged I love it, kept the bmw roundels on hood and trunk obviously.

dakine_surf · 05-03-2019, 02:23 PM

I like the de-badge'd look... Plus it makes waxing and cleaning easier

Ha ha I knew someone would mention that!

Yes that’s not up for debate I’m definitely leaving those on

Exactly why I like that look, clean.

Great looking car too

Don't matter what we think. Do what want with it, it's your ride!
Enjoy that badness!

bimmerguy1210 · 05-03-2019, 03:32 PM

I love the way my e90 looks debadged. Looks way more clean, and symmetrical on a 335i with the dual exhaust

Agreed, I’m probably going to do it regardless
Just like to hear reasons why to or why not to

NYBulldog · 05-03-2019, 04:39 PM

Absolutely. Looks great.

macheff03 · 05-04-2019, 06:50 AM

I’m pretty much decided but for the people who said no - why not?

I think it's childish. If it said camry on the back then go for it, but the bmw numbering system is classy.

BM3Rrrr · 05-04-2019, 07:59 AM

Embrace your 325i

macheff03 · 05-04-2019, 08:34 AM

The fact that’s it’s a 325 doesn’t bother me, after all I did choose it

NitroKing · 05-04-2019, 09:39 AM

Cleans up the rear end nicely.

What wheels are they matey, they are gorgeous?!

Brandoch · 05-04-2019, 05:42 PM

I'm not a fan because where I live, when you turn 17 you buy your first car usually a civic. The first mods are usually plasti dipped rims, fart can, and debadging.

F30lolz · 05-05-2019, 08:13 AM

Do it OP. Plus you gave me an idea of removing my 335i badge and replacing it with a 320i badge to match my f30 -,-

S65Hunter · 05-05-2019, 12:57 PM

Do it do it do it. I've debadged every car I've ever owned. I cant stand all of the chrome lettering all over the back. It kills me that my lady won't let me debadge her forester. It says "Subaru Forester" "symmetrical AWD" "PZEV partial zero emissions vehicle ". WHEN WILL IT EVER STOP?

Bufalo · 05-05-2019, 01:12 PM

I did it on my 328 and love the look. I have zero embarrassment about what model it is, nor am I trying to fool anyone.

Schmitz · 05-05-2019, 08:44 PM

I'll change my 328 badge to a 330 since it is a 3.0 liter engine.....................

That has nothing to do with this thread though...
