Merv,
That is so so true.
I saw an E61 yesterday, the badge was so high up it may as well as have been on the rear window!

I think we BOTH need to get out more! (not together though - no offence

Me personally I prefer to have the badge fitted. Plus if you don't get the retrofitted badge in the right place it always looks like the car has been in an accident.
As it does when the badge has been "forgotten"...

IMHO debadging is a waste of time because to the E60 enthusiast they should be able to tell the model by the shape and colour of the exhaust. The only exceptions would be the difference between 530i and 525i and 525d and 530d. Anyone who couldn't tell the car from the exhaust wouldn't be interested whether it had a badge or not.

I like the dbadged look, nice and clean. Plus it is easier to clean/wax/Rejex around without leaving any of the residue. Looking at all of the cars here in Germany that seem to start some kind of rust around the model information on the rear of cars. Salt :thumbsdown: is such a problem here.

Oviously these badges are stuck on with killer glue which eats all the way through to the steel to allow the salt to corrode it.
