Why debadge?

I am sure different people do it for different reasons, but I have debaged all my BMW's since the early 90's. I've had an E30 325is, an E24 635csi, an E34 540i 6spd, an E39 540i 6spd, an E63 645, and now a F10 535i Sport and they have all been debaged, no matter how big or small the engine is.

When I was pretty young i went to Europe for a long trip and fell in love with German cars. I loved seeing Tuned German cars with all the goodies and the most sophisticated, subtle, clean, minimal cars were normally debaged. Ever since then, I have been doing it. I think the exterior looks streamlined and subtle while still very sporting due to the tuner parts.

My 0.2 cents.
