Debadge a M5?
Seriously?
Seriously?
I have an unused matte black 325i badge in my garage that I never installed because I liked the debadged look better after I removed the OEM badge.
I have an unsued matte black 550i badge in my glove box that I was planning to put on, but I am now leaning toward no-badge. Those who know, will know what I drive, and those that don't recognize the larger tips on the 550 probably don't know the difference between a 525 and a 550 anyway. So, why not keep it a secret for the general population???
