130i badge on tuned 125i?
In europe there is a version of the E82/E88 labeled 125i, it has the exact same engine as an 130i but is limited with the software to 218 HP instead of 265 HP.
In a couple of weeks i will get my 125i retuned with 130i software and then we will add a chip tune, adding 7 more HP and the end result will be 272 HP. Since i wan't black letters instead i'm also thinking of rebadging it to 130i Yay or nay?

This.
Plus, the tune isn't the only thing different I believe.

Don't listen to these nay-sayers Fredrik. I say, skip the 130i badge and go straight to the ///M badge!
Seriously though, I agree with the others. You can be proud of what you have - or debadge to keep them guessing. I always thought it was kind of cool to have more under the hood than was advertised on the trunk. Surprise some people. |

de-badge and keep them guessing. Try and get a BMW performance exhaust [BMW PE] or get some exhaust modification to get the "sound". Every time I start my car, the "sound" is intoxicating. Now also, do you have better tires?

Hello,
I would do "WHATEVER" you feel comfortable with. Do not let "ANYONE" I repeat "ANYONE" tell you how to adorn or not your car. Your hard earned money no-one else. De-badge, 130, 125 or M what EVER, certainly take a straw poll to for kicks to see what people think. Your car , your money... Quote:

Since you're asking for opinions, I say debadge. Give them the "sleeper" look. Besides, it's a BMW, known to be subtle and understated, with a touch of class. At least that's how they used to be.
