No more x-drive badge

jdmdohcpower · 06-20-2013, 01:10 PM

I think these look good on the m-sport. I didn't want to put a "M" bade on the back but this is a nice touch

The X Men · 06-20-2013, 02:48 PM

NOT!!!!

Yuck man. That's something my 70yr old father would do because that was cool in his time. X3 is not a japanese ricer. I wouldn't be surprised if you drilled holes into the rear bumper for added aerodynamics so Please just finish de-badging before you cause any more damage to the car

KrisNL · 06-20-2013, 05:35 PM

this is not good, this is in fact the opposite of good ...

Want the thrill · 06-20-2013, 06:06 PM

Have to be honest, I don't like it at all

jdmdohcpower · 06-20-2013, 07:25 PM

Wow, I thought you guys would like it. Well I like it so it stays but hey to each his own

Teemo Panda · 06-20-2013, 11:25 PM

I Like the Satin like finish but, the M Logo, kinda gives it away with a cheap look :x~
Sorry Man~

Do yourself a favor and remove it immediately because it's

The X Men · 06-21-2013, 08:40 AM

If you want to pretent your car is a M3, at least get the right badge

Fargo13 · 06-21-2013, 09:23 AM

Did you add this badge? Or did it come with it? Some of the later comments are confusing.

I'm about to order a 35i M-Sport. Just curious if its gonna come with it?

I have no desire to de-badge. I don't know that I want to mess with it.

jdmdohcpower · 06-21-2013, 09:28 AM

No I saw it at the dealer and it looked cool. I had a 50 credit from buying the car so I grabbed em. I actually really like it. Lol. Whatever
Also I don't need to pretend its an m3, I have an 09 VF 650 M3. Does the trick just fine.

Even from afar??? I liked em cause they look stock and don't stand out at all. Lol, I still like them. But thanks for the hate guys..

No hate, just an opinion, thats all, take it for what its worth. After market badges and stickers belong on a NASCAR, not a BMW

jdmdohcpower · 06-21-2013, 11:01 AM

its not really aftermarket since I bought it at the dealer, just saying lol.

Frankly, I am surprise your dealer even sell something like that. I hope you didnt pay too much for that badge

scotta2 · 06-21-2013, 02:30 PM

I think everyone's being a bit harsh, not my taste but it doesn't detract too much from the stock badges being dispayed on BMW models. I've seen many other modifications on the forum that involve radical changes which in my mind are far more questionable.

I tend to agree with your comments.

I'm surprised how so many folks alter such an expensive car at all? $50K+ These vehicles aren't 98 Honda SI's.

I am prob crazy but I am always thinking of my next car so I need to be able to get as much for my current one as possible when I sell and that usually means leave it stock-ish.

To be honest, when I look at your car, what stands out are the nice wheels and the DSB color. My wife's '11 328i is DSB and I think it looks awesome. So no hate here. When I order my '14 X3, it will probably be the Vermillian Red because my wife doesn't want me to be a copy cat. I just wasn't sure what little details have changed from the '13 MY. If mine came with the M Power badge, I'm still gonna leave it alone.

I think it looks ok from the shot standing back and no worse than the X drive badge.
