Sure, WE know the difference but 90% of the people on the street dont. I didn't debadge my 328, but i did do shadow emblems though, which i also did on my 135 and would do on an M3 or M5 if I got one, I just like the way it looks. Nothing wrong with taking them off altogether if its because you don't like how it looks but its another thing if you're the kind of person whos doing because you're insecure of what you're driving compared to others.
See, now I can accept that. I just don't like being lumped in with all of those people that you speak of cause I do it to make the car look cleaner as opposed to hiding the fact that I bought a base model when I wanted the top of the line. Not saying you said it, cause I know you didn't.
