Rampant_Lion 3 Report post Posted December 11, 2014 Thinking of debadging my 550i to give it that Euro/clean/sleeper look. Interested to hear what the opinions are in NZ regarding this. Thoughts and suggestions welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

francoisv 466 Report post Posted December 12, 2014 So yes, debadging a 550 is cool, debadging a 523 is not. Quote of the day! I love it! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kepes 231 Report post Posted December 12, 2014 Im all for debadging high end models. Will be a nice sleeper.I love that about BMWs, they might all look pretty similar (the series, I mean) but what's under the hood is very different! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rampant_Lion 3 Report post Posted December 12, 2014 Next question, Naf or not? M Sport colours on front grilles? Already matte blacked but me and missus have-agreed on blue/purple/red lines. Defo not looking to pretend its an M5 at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tristan 338 Report post Posted December 12, 2014 If it's a factory M-sport car, go for your life. If it's not, put an M5 badge on at the same time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NZ BMW 368 Report post Posted January 18, 2015 With all that power I suggest a Quattro badge to supplement your handling. It gets a bit wet and windy in Wellington. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
