                  Only posers de-badge because their either embarrassed of what they have or they want to create doubt and mislead others.

                    That's a load of shit. But, believe whatcha want. :p

                    I would have left the 325 on my trunk all day long. I think you have it wrong there bud - last I checked most people just remove it cause it looks clean without it.

                      Disagree. Asthetically, debadged looks better IMO.

                      I don't think there are many people who are going to try to mislead others about which model they have.

                      Plus, i've never seen a 318 or non-iS model and thought anything about it, other than "Ohh, an E30!!!"

                      +1 on the blacked out badge if you do decide to put them on

                            Funny, the Germans debadge them for the high end models so the restless youth who consider you evil for being successful won't vandalize the car.

                            We do it here to hide that we have the "lowly" 318i. If you are proud that it is a BMW put them on, especially if you are going for a mostly stock look.

                              I personally prefer badgeless, but if you are going to put them back on, definitely blacked out
