I don't like the XDrive badge on the rear of the car on the 13's. I'm debating replacing my chrome emblems with matte one's from Bimmiam.com.

Yes. I didn't like that badge on the fenders. I moved up to hate for the trunk lid. Too busy and cluttered looking...

I've seen only a couple of debadged 550s and a lot of debadged 528s and 535s. There must be a reason other than cleaner look!

I consider it admiration for an amazing looking car Now if I go ahead and make the in my opinion "horrible" decision of putting on an M badge on a non M car....I deserve the flack and flame job

Technically i added the quad exhaust before the M5 even came out so....
I did it for aesthetics purposes only. The rear end just doesn't look right without either the 550's trapezoid tips or quads in my honest opinion. For me even if i had a 550 i would still de-badge it. I hate washing/waxing around the badges. For me only ///M cars gets to keep the badge on.

Rebadge it an M6. You can later sell it at Barrett Jackson as a "one of one" and make a million dollars! ha ha.
I plan on leaving the badges on my car. But to each his own, as long as it's not "up-badging." Here in the Netherlands almost every 5 series I've seen has been debadged. |

I took off the xdrive on the sides. The annoying tire places and their pickiness cuz it's awd put me over the edge.
Thought about the matte 550 on the back; might look good w the graphite gray.

I so would have gotten Alpine White if it didn't look so hideous each time you get a nick or chip on the bumper covers. The dark primer stands out like a sore thumb; darker colors hide these marks. I see you live in nyc so you know what I'm talking about. |
