Would you debadge an F10 520d?
Discussion
I currently have an F10 520d and it's badged. Now, unlike many people I'm not ashamed of the badge or indeed the car.
However, as the badge is only on one side I quite like the look of it without, but I don't really dislike the badge either, so can't decide.
I'm just after opinions really, what would you do?

Depends I find badges annoying generally from a detailing perspective they are "always" in the way of a polisher.
Strangely though I have kept mine on the 640D, everyone still assumes it is a x20D anyway then surprised when it moves off far quicker....
I have tbh I find the F10 better and less "cluttered" without the badges.

How do you know that "everyone still assumes it's a x20D anyway...."?Strangely though I have kept mine on the 640D, everyone still assumes it is a x20D anyway then surprised when it moves off far quicker....

Do you really think that many people are that interested?
Personally I wouldn't.
Alot of people around here debadge their F10s to hide the fact that it is a 4 pot smoker. You almost know why they have been debadged.
While there is nothing wrong with a 520d why be ashamed of it? At least you have a reasonable amount of clout as well as good MPG.

Why not - after all a de-badge is symptomatic with having a billy-basic model!
Would you de-badge a 535 (i or D)? Thought not.
I debadged all my old BMWs from my 120d to my 650i and everything inbetween including a M3 and M5. Some cost £20k some cost £70k. Didn't matter to me. I don't like badges. Young lads trying to impress may debadge for another reason but not everyone. Would you de-badge a 535 (i or D)? Thought not.
My 550i came debadged from factory.
Before I took delivery I had the dealer put the badge back on!
520d debadge. To be honest, it's each to their own. There are arguments for and against and everyone has a different view on it. Do what makes you happy. I dare say some people would think I was stupid, vain, egotistical, flashy (insert whichever adjective you like) for what I did with the 550i. But made me happy so don't care what others think about it.
