Oh yeah, but it's so much fun seeing the look on the faces of all sorts of muppets in their 'performance' cars 
The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.

I've thought about de-badging my 320i, but everytime i take it out for a spin. I've always had the admiring looks of the fairer sex,  and the appreciative nods from their boyfriends/male companions as I drive by. So I don't. I am in the process of adding to the look of the car, but not too much.

And the growl of the Inducted 6potter as you pull away from the lights always has me giggling like a girl everytime. Be proud of your car! and have fun with it.

It's a bit of a mixed bag really. De badging may make others thing you have a slower 316/318 which means when you put your foot down you surprise them or on the other hand they may think you want them to think you have a 325 or 330 in which case they could embaress you. If you are proud of your car, then leave the badge on. At the end of the day, if a chav mobile beats you off the lights, the chances are it was a vauxhall that he'll either write off within 6 months or will be in the scrappers by 2008, whereas you car will long outlive anything he ever deserves to own.

Keep the badge, it compliments the BMW roudel alongside it!

Regards

Mike
