Debadging your 335i

MrSilver · 07-17-2006, 11:10 AM

Anyone plan to debadge their new 335i?

I'm thinking about it.

Well...

Unlike those of us who have known about this car for months, there are many people who will have no idea what the 335i is, as it will be brand spanking new to the general public. Having the car debadged brings a little mystery to the car.

I think that you're putting too much on it.

Will you take the Roundels out too?

Which is usually the case.

Hmmm.... good question...

Can anyone photoshop the 355i without the badging and roundels to see how it looks?

ksfrogman · 07-17-2006, 11:35 AM

I wonder if anyone has debadged a M3.

E394KEN · 07-17-2006, 11:36 AM

Ive never liked cars debadged. When I see a P car or any other BMW without its badges it makes it look plain jane. But it is your vehicle you can do whatever pleases you. No one elses opinion really matters other than your own.

But the 335i will maintain its sleeper qualities with or without the badge. I don't see how it makes any difference?

KennyVendetta · 07-17-2006, 11:50 AM

Sleeper from what? 17 year olds driving cars that their family bought them?

whippersnapper · 07-17-2006, 12:29 PM

I'm thinking of adding TURBO INTERCOOLER to my 325. Do you think this could be done at pre-delivery by my dealer? I want other drivers to know what they're messing with...

We think alike - I asked the same thing in the other debadging thread.

I've even seen pictures of a debadged (and heavily modified) M6. To answer the original question, my current car is debadged, and my next one will be too regardless of the engine I order.
