Timing is everything. I just polished off the last residue of the glue from the badge. Just need rims and the BSM with tint and gloss black grills and smoked markers exterior appearance is complete.

Or the 323, 320 and so on

Taran.J · 02-24-2015, 08:34 AM

No badge for me. Cleaner look

Eddien123 · 02-24-2015, 08:35 AM

Waited too long. Removed the i and underneath showed paint fade. Reattached the i badge and never thought of it again.

mump · 02-24-2015, 08:51 AM

I am debadged because I think it makes a clean look on the back; however, my PA plate is "335IS"

n2siast · 02-24-2015, 09:00 AM

Debadged, only because my CSL trunk didn't come with a badge

Nitrousbird · 02-24-2015, 09:41 AM

I bought mine debadged.

Debadged only because my "i" fell off and removed the rest. Either way, I like both looks.

AllBlackBimmer · 02-24-2015, 11:40 AM

I would debadge any... I debadged my 328... but would also debadge an M3...

looks 100x cleaner.

Ok · 02-24-2015, 11:58 AM

I debadged mine last summer, a couple of days later I didn't like how it looked so I put the badge back on. I think it's a personal preference, some people like it some people don't. To me it just felt to naked, like something was missing.

+1 bought my car debadged also. Looks clean overall.

headhunterz · 02-24-2015, 12:45 PM

CSL trunk = no badge

Austin 1439 · 02-24-2015, 01:35 PM

Still left the shadow from the badge but I still think its fine. Kind of like a ghost badge to it.

LRPE92 · 02-24-2015, 01:55 PM

No badge here as well

Ozzie335i · 02-24-2015, 01:59 PM

I re-badged. Now Dinan 3. Same as J.B. Looks ok.

Ok · 02-24-2015, 02:20 PM

To me a 335 and a M3 look a lot nicer debadged than say a 320 or a 328, etc, etc. The dual exhaust just makes the back look fuller.

chris82 · 02-24-2015, 02:24 PM

I thnk I want to rebadge

LRPE92 · 02-24-2015, 02:58 PM

A better shot with no badge, sometimes I do feel like having it on, people ask me if that's an M3

: but it does it give it a clean look
