Debadged today looks a lot better

JustChris · 03-28-2023, 03:57 PM

Ahh 1/2 rebadged. Don’t really see that often looks better 👍🏻

gkgeiger · 03-28-2023, 05:59 PM

Just curious if you would have done that if it was a M40i? I leave my cars the way they came.

Pprior · 03-28-2023, 06:04 PM

I’m taking both sides off the day I get mine.

I’m 40 so I like my car telling everyone M40!

If you're going to do it, do it all the way....take the Z4 off also.

stlcdr · 03-29-2023, 05:12 AM

I’m already in the full de-badge camp. But whatever floats your boat is good.

Brits, on the whole, are less inclined to modify vehicles (something to do with rules and regulations, pfft!). Nice to see one at least trying to follow the German way!

(Before anyone gets bent out of shape, take it as the humor it was intended).

Use wd40 to get the residual glue off.

Thanks! My groomer took car of the de-badging before a ceramic coating went on.

IM2C · 03-29-2023, 10:34 PM

I like it.

Is the roundel on the front and back held on with adhesive or the traditional two post mounting

It's a 2 poster. I recently replaced mine. Rear was easy, front was a challenge to remove.

Working on the front. It is firmly attached. Thanks

If he was Russian, he would take off the 4 and leave the Z.

Think its best for the driver for the Z being the first thing to go.

To be fair "M40" looks MUCH better than "sDrive 30i". Too wordy back there. I had the dealer de-badge before delivery.

Definitely, because the M40i badge has the bright M stripes.

Now that I switched to the gloss black badges which are OEM, I love the look and wonder if some of the people who de-badged their cars would have ordered their cars with them if they had been an option from the factory. Other manufacturers offer black badges which look great on certain colors, why doesn't BMW?
