I like the de-badged look since its already been done. If itsa 525 leave it debadged but if 530 or higher I would re-badge down the road...the higer the number the more respect you seem to get.

 

....more respect...........?

......you mean people wave at you and give you thumbs up kind of thing ?

OK !!! Let me rebadge tomorrow....





Just kidding - I know what you mean, although maybe slightly offensive to some members.

 

It just looks nicer debadged. Now - if I could just get rid of that keyhole.

Jim, with that kind of vanity plate how do you call your vehicle "debadged"? It seems to be screaming "I'm a 530i".

 

Outside the US debadge is a factory option just like heated seats or whatever... Your's 'Looks factory' has nothing to do with it! In Europe it's a common choice, looks cleaner. No car has been designed to have that ugly looking sign glued to it's back!

That's his horse power.

 

Sorry...didn't mean to offend any members. As we know, ALL e60s are great!

...look at the bright side though, Most other mfr dealers (specially in the midwest) stick on really big and tacky dealer emblems!

Give your head a shake. Go to the exotic car auction in Phoenix, Barrett Jackson, and see if "looks factory" applies to the cars they sell for record pricing. Corvettes, HEMI's, Mustangs, etc. But if the most intelligent comment you can make is that no car was designed for "that ugly sign" on the back, then theres not much sense debating it with you.

You're telling me that because someone orders a car and leaves it alone as the factory built it, then that automatically implies they bought it for ego??? Are you high? I was nearly killed by a drunk driver at the end of September, and I ultimately ordered a BMW because it is one of the safest cars in the world. My decision had absolutely nothing to do with ego. Good grief!

Come on Trev. How about no flaming, no insulting, and respecting others and their opinions? I think that is what we are about in our discussions. You objections to what others have said could be addressed in a more friendly fashion--not that what you said was horrible. I've just been noticing a tendency in the other direction.

Best, Znod
