As for debadging - are you crazy, bro?! Definitely NOT debadge!
Matte gunmetal? Can someone photoshop it?

On a serious mod note - I don't know if you're thinking any CF stuff. If you do, I have a pair of CF inserts for the M5 mirror's bottom.
THAT I cannot do. No CF. I'm not too much of a CF fan. I like high quality CF like the $1000+ ones but I can't afford that kind of mods. So I'd rather keep it clean.

Nah. It's either all or nothing

why on earth anyone would debadge an M5 is beyond me.. John, whats wrong with you. Anyone who knows anything about bmw's would know right away that its an M5, therefore there is no reason to debadge it, plain and simple..

I would proudly wear that badge if I could. Dont be a fool boy..

Because it looks cleaner? And you made the exact point, if people that can tell will know it's a M5 regardless, then why is there a need for the badge?

I debadge all my cars.

What wrong with those wheels? Not good enough for an M5 John?

I love em but there's people saying the M5 should get some high-end forged wheels. The Breyton GTS-RM isnt cheap at all! I could possibly get a set of used high end forged wheels for the same price. Just gotta wait for someone who will need money but if someone drives an M5, I don't really think they will need money quick!

Shit I might still get the Breyton GTSRM wheels. What other wheels out there look as nice as them anyway? I love em!!!!!!
