Recently a member on here made comments about why I hid my model description suggesting or infering it was because it was a 520i
It made me wonder why other members remove their badges

I have a 530i with a supercharger and have 330HP in my ride i remove the badge because i perferre a clean look. I like nothing on the car only the BMW logo, gives the car a classy look and a very clean line lookin ride. But since you have the entry level E60 i can see why others would question your reasoning here. How many HP in the 520i>150hp, how is the power? Is it fast?
