ACTIVEHYBRID 3 debage or not!
Should I remove the model designation from the car?Does it look better?I have seen some put an m3 or m5 badge on a non m car and that is a whole different thread .Mine is an activehybrid 3 msport and wish they just lettered it something like 335ih and never touched the c pillar.

I'd debadge the C pillar and leave the trunk badge.

Do we really need an 'i' after 328/335 anymore? Would anyone think they're still using carburetors?

I'm definitely taking the c pillar badges off...and planned on debadging the rear, however, that is still up for debate. I hate to completely remove any indication of the AH3, but I agree that the Activehybrid badging is a little long winded.

If you debadge all of it, everyone will think its a 335i.

Some colors like the silver or white might hide the c pillar badge better but I got the black so it looks like a billboard. What if it was a 335 diesel and convertible like some of the old badges 335d for diesel+ I for fuel inj+C for convertible ?Would I then have a 335DIC.

And you'll get worse fuel economy.

Go ahead and debadge; depending on price I may be willing to buy them from you. I can use them for better parking at the airport. The fuel efficient cars get special spots right at the terminal entrance. Would be more sensible to make them park the farthest away since they use less gas.

Debadge the whole thing. It just looks cleaner. It's a factory option too. Tons of people do it in Europe. Hell, I even see Audis around here without the rings. Only people who care about these cars will know and care about the difference anyway, regardless of whether or not it's displayed.

If I spent the extra cash to buy an ActiveHybrid3, I'd sure as hell leave the badge on.
I've only seen one on the street, and I immediately thought it was a 335 (I saw it from the back) until I got near enough to see the C pillar badge. I thought it was pretty cool. |
