I just talked with Ricracing via PM, and he suggested to debadge the car. However, I'm waiting for the matte black "530d" from Bimmian.com, and the original intention was to rebadge the car with it. The big wisdom lies among the members about this issue too, so which one would be your choice; debadge or rebadge with matte black text?

Share your thoughts thank you!

If you're going to to the exhaust tips black I think it would look good with the black 530d badge.
