I'm de-badging tomorrow. Someone can figure out that I have a 535i if they have the knowledge and knew where to look. I'm all about the sleeper mode. Stealth is good.

this is how i can tell a debagged e60 the shape of the muffler is different on 530 and below and on 535 and up... i made a illustration its not the best but you can get the idea
That's because <= 530 is a single exhaust with a dual outlet, and >= 535 is a dual exhaust with two mufflers shoe-horned in there (with the driver's side one being rotated 90* on the front to back horizontal, hence the "bulge" there).

Also, some light CTS-V badge or the Packard V-8 badge.

I went with the gloss black badges because im working a black and white theme. otherwise I think the debaged look is the best way to go. people rebadging trying to front they have something more is gay.
I think it has everything to do with what your trying to do! if your car is stock and your going to keep it stock then debadge 4 a clean look!

I am irritated how many E60s there are having no labels telling the car?s engine size (525i, 530i, 530d and so on) in the rear of the car.
