If someone wants to interpret it that way, it's on them. Debadged is just a cleaner look.

Nice MG and brake colour combination

JackAdams · 10-27-2017, 07:56 PM

Back at ya

Also matches my CR interior.

Wish I had your rotors

You gotta change your reflectors. I just did it and love the look. Cleans it right up, imo.

Just realized your in Toronto too.

Thanks yeah switching out the reflectors is on the list. Weird but I actually like the amber...but running out of budget friendly mod ideas.

Here's a better photo of the rotors, back when I had the 400m rims mounted.

Did you retrofit those 4 piston calipers do your sport line?

Haha that's justification enough to me. Out of the state right now but sounds like a quick project for when I get back tomorrow. Just can't forget to go over the badges area worth the ceramic coat after!

Didn't touch the brakes since I got the car last March - other than to have the callipers painted. It was a one owner off lease, so I assume these brakes are what came from the factory. I'm not really familiar with the different brake packages

Interesting yeah I'm not a guru by any means but I wasn't aware you could get the 4 piston calipers on a non M Sport.

Looks fab either way brother! I would have loved having those when I bought mine.

Thanks. I'm thinking that the 335's came with 4 piston calipers, but as I said, I really know nothing

This is a good thread about the brake options on our cars.

Okay, bit the bullet today. Inspired by my girlfriend:

---------------------------------------------------------

Grocery store parking lot
Me: Babe, I need your opinion on something
GF: Sure
Me: Do you think I should keep those silver things on the trunk on or take them off
GF: Definitely take the one on the left off. I dont know about the one on the right. Can you make it black?

Get home, debadge X drive emblem

Me: Alright, what do you think now?
GF: I think it's too shiny and too much contrast. Get rid of the other one

Me: Okay, done
GF: I like it better now. Maybe do the black one but keep it like this for now.

---------------------------------------------------------

What do you guys think? I like the debadge but am thinking about doing a black or CF 328i emblem in the future.

7iM3less · 11-04-2017, 09:14 PM

I say full debadge.

Calvin36 · 11-04-2017, 10:29 PM

Full debadge! I need to do that too...

I really think it looks good without any badges. I ran my E92 335i that way for basically the entire time I owned the car. I liked the 'symmetry' in the rear. E.g. you can draw a line down the center and each half will be the reciprocal of the other.

Hi All,
Just picked up my new to me Mineral Grey 2014 CPO 328i on Thursday. She has beautiful red interior and is a sportsline model with very low miles. She's my third BMW (previously an 86 E30 325ES and 15 E84 X1). All 4 stock style 397 wheels all had some curb scratches on them, so i had BMW put on the Niche Misanos I had on my X1. Pics are attached, ill try to get better ones this week!

Plans are to debadge her and then add some tint and I think that's it for now.
