I think they hired Chris Bangle again, not as designer, but as the nomenclature specialist.

Aside from the M235i badge on the trunk, it's really the only badge aside from the BMW logo on the hood/trunk (I know '16 cars got the fender badges). I think debadging it would clean it up a bit for sure, and leave people questioning what model it is you're driving, but who cares?

On the brake calipers (4), the trunk lid (1), front fenders (2), door sills (2), engine cover (1), steering wheel (1).

If you add in the M Performance rocker panel trim, 2 more...but that one is my fault. I think the matte black looks good.
I hate to tell you the stock wheels also each have their own emblem and there's the dash icon if you have nav

Yup. My stock wheels are in storage. Rolling on Apex EC-7s.

And no nav.

But yeah, remember each wheel had an M on it.

I think debadging is an aesthetic choice while adding badges is just usually a poor choice IMHO.

My 228i was de-badged when I bought it used. I intend to add the M235i performance exhaust because I like the way it sounds over the stock 228i exhaust. My car also has the M Package and THP. Once the exhaust is added, how on earth could anyone tell whether I have a 228i or an M235i?

Or a RS AMG. Replace the m in AMG with the M performance one.

There's a bug with the "appreciate" button wherein if you click multiple appreciates it actually decrements the overall Rep #.

I think I've got that right....

The giver or recipient?

So let's say I click appreciate on your post multiple times...who loses?

Weird!

The recipient loses....99.9% sure. someone can correct me if I've got that backwards.

I think they're working on it...remember reading about it on another thread.

That's actually hilarious. Glitch, obviously.

Really itching to debadge it. But it's a slippery slope and wife thinks it's tacky.
