Would you "Debadge" your 1?

in that case maybe you could re-badge JB3 135i as a 150i, if you use the "it acts like a5 liter" argument. 550i makes 360hp, 360tq, so pretty close to JB3 numbers (@ different RPM range) :wink:.

OTOH maybe make it a 130ti or 130tti. Kidding of course.

Debadged:



Since the 135 is still relatively new, some people are still scratching their heads to find out what kind of car it is.

As far a putting other badges on it, the car should command respect - not beg for attention.

mine is debadged

[BMW_x5_Msport]

i will as soon as i get around to it!

I was thinking about taking off the 28i and leaving just the "1" I reconsidered however and ended up taking everything off. I just prefer then cleaner look.

I debadge all my cars. I prefer the clean look, and it's easier to wax. I also dono't like letting people know what I have under the hood.

The only 2 badges for me would be an "M" or "DINAN" (and I'm 3/4 of the way there).

Is this car dropped or on stock suspension? Looks dropped but not sure...

[Breville]

Looks dropped by at least an inch.

I love the de-badged look; did it with my Rabbit and my dad's M Coupe (sides and rear); his and my future cars will also be debadged.
