Badge or Debadge
What do you guys and girls think? I debadged my old e86 then debadged my 330d, Now thinking of debadgeing my e85.

For me the lock on the boot ruins the debadged look on the e85. Just feels unbalanced somehow.

I prefer the de-badged look as it shows off the great lines of the car with no distractions, especially the wing badges.
Get them off!

An unhelpful comment I'm afraid but I'm in the same position... I just can't decide
I'd hold onto the badges for re sale though, even if that's not going to be for years and years

Im sure I saw something years ago to cover the keyhole on the boot.
I think it was just a metal disc painted body colour and held on with double sided tape.

Has anyone got before and after pictures of a debadged E85/86 wing in a dark colour ? Like others, I am undecided on this

You should do a pole.
I Agree with the majority here, de badge the wings ( too cluttered) leave the Z4 tail

Thank you. That is starting to sway my decision.Smartbear wrote:I took them off my silver-grey e85NickDE wrote:Has anyone got before and after pictures of a debadged E85/86 wing in a dark colour ? Like others, I am undecided on this
Any photos of a truly dark car out there ? Like one of the many nearly-blacks that BMW decided to bless us with.

De-badge. The Z4 badge looks nasty. Also loose the 25i / 3.0i from the sides too, equally childish looking.
