No leaving mine standard. IMO, some people might think you have a lesser model and you're trying to 'hide' it.

Was considering it for the cleaner lines on the back. Will take it off at a later date if I decide to.

at the lights. you stop. in a pleasant state of daydreaming. suddenly you hear a jarring "beep beep". rudely you are shaken out of your reverie, yet reluctantly but politely you roll down the window. says the chap to you with a smirk on his face, "i thought they stopped making the 318ci no?"

The only reason I would remove the badge is to put on a 118d badge.

Its not like the decision is irreversible. You can take it off, if you don't like it. Put it back on. I'm also on the debadge bandwagon I think. I've always like my cars with a bit of a "sleeper" look. Keep people guessing about what lurks beneath the bonnet.

Gone the "clean skin" and love it.

Thought I'd miss the "label", but love the symmetrical look at the back.

Don't give a hoot whether other people recognise or poo poo the car. It's all about me!

Probably better to get the dealer to do it.

Must admit, had concerns just before picking up the car.

Once I saw it though, was completely satisfied. To be honest, I can't imagine how it'd look WITH the badge. I am sure it looks fine, and adds "identity" to the car.

But as I said, I like the clean look.
