Follow in a few members footsteps and do either...

Remove the 545 and throw a 550 badge on there. LOL! Who was that guy again??? LOL!

Remove the 545 and throw a M5 badge on there. It's totally acceptable.

Remove the 545 and throw a 525 badge on there and watch 528 and 530 owners jaws drop as you beat them every time!

That's a personal decision ... on dark cars chrome badges stand out and maybe an option for those is to use flat black badges.

As for going stealth, a 6 cyl could masquerade as a V-8, or a V-8 car can go stealth and leave people guessing what's under the hood, or mimic a newer model year (550).

I wanted to debadge my 525i. However with my 124 wheels, I wouldn't want people think I'm trying to pass it off as something else.

Let's not forget this option:



"555i"

But seriously, like any other mod it comes down to personal preference...you'll find the same point uttered the other 12 or so threads about this topic....GL with your decision

I opted for the black numbers for my 545i, it is stealthy and I love it!
