Leave the badge on ...

I worked hard for my 330i (actually probably not that hard, but you know what I mean) and I wear my badge with pride.

I reckon the majority of debadged BMW's are smaller diesels trying to look like something they are not.

Leave the badge, but get some blacklines.

I've always had mine debadged, looks cleaner, that being the only reason.

Most BMW affecionado's should know there stuff however,just look at the tailpipes, I,m referring to coupe's here as saloon's might differ?:

318 - 320 = single pipe
325 - 330 = twin pipe
335D =pipe each side

I stand to be corrected here, however!

BMW have left enough clues to identify any of the models without a badge, but I like mine.

I've now got Lloyd Grossman's voice in my head...

"Let's look at the evidence... the twin exhaust pipes, the chrome grill, xenons as standard... David its over to you..."

No binning the badges for me, I want the world to know its a 335d .,,,,,, (as it goes by at a rapid rate of speed)

Paul330d · 08-25-2007, 01:44 PM

Blacklines look good on dark colours, but I'm not sure about Arctic. I'd be interested to see what they look like.
