You see friends.. you can debadge your car for the smooth look. But dont "re-badge" and call your 525 a 550, especially when I know you are driving a 525i sport with 17" rims and shadowline trim. Now that also happened 1 week ago but I couldnt let the guy know as he sped away.

we're used to it here... practially all the 5s here are running around with M5 kit, and an M5 badge. One dumb ass at my school, runs a STOCK e60 and has an M5 badge. Oh wait, no he had a drop of sweat of the M5, an M5 spoiler, thats it, and he rebadged his car. M5!! I think you guys would be really pissed if you came to Thailand. 
Practically no one has an E60 higher than a 530i, yet they're running around spotting M5 badges!! BTW, my car is de-badged...

+1 debadged is a good look... it keeps people confused... then when you blow them they're like, must be a 530i, when you meet them later and find out its a 520d remapped, they're shocked!!

OK, you guys, after seeing this thread I guess I will take the following badge off my car:
Man, it looked so sweet too, right next to my 585 on the back.

When did that model come out?
