personal preference.....in Europe, the dealer will actually debadge the car for you. Most cars are debaged in Europe...not just BMWs. I couldn't get the dealer in CA to debage the car....In Europe, at least Germany, there isn't really anything special about a BMW....they are everywhere, and no one really cares what model/engine it is. In the US, its almost like a status symbol because you have a bigger/more expensive model/engine, which most people would only know by looking at the badge. Plus, most people leave the badge on in the U.S. Almost like a cultural difference.

when you order the car in Europe you have to choose if you want the badge or not.
The ones with large engines de-badge their car because not to show off, and the ones with small engines dont want to show they have just the small engine. Just like me with my 520d :-) |

It could be fun to take out the BMW logo and the model on my F10 550i and replace it with the Toyota logo.
I can see people looking at the back of the car and says "Huh????"

For a comparison of opposites, just have a look at the number of idiots driving BMW's with spindly tyres and single exhausts, but covered in 'M' badges - it's only themselves who they're fooling . |
