I just rebadged with OEM black badges. Debadging will keep people guessing on if it’s a 40i, 50i or 50M.

True, but I would say that 8/10 peeps would not even care

I guess if I had a 50M, I would leave it for sure.

Nope. I did a tutorial on how to correctly install badges. Besides measurements and tape lines, you can lay a level across the badges. This will give you the industry term “dead balls perfect”.

Yes debadged here as well. We prefer the clean look. Both our G05 and G07 are debadged.

Insert standard "We don't need no stinking badges" joke here.

Not sure if I'll be debadging, or replacing with black badging.

It would be interesting to have a pole to see how many 40i debadge as opposed to the other models.

I know in Europe it is usually the higher end models that are debadged from the factory. You can option that on a 7 Series here in the US. Personally, I leave my badges on, but think it looks good either way.

I prefer to remove the badges. Cleaner. I don't need to advertise; I know what I bought and those who appreciate vehicles know to; those that don't do not care what badge is on there.
