Black badges - keep or remove xdrive badge?
This is a silly question, but what do you guys prefer? Got a set of black badges, not sure whether I should replace the xdrive badge or just leave it off.

All a matter of taste. I de-badged my Audi as I prefer a clean look and the BMW was ordered out of factory without badges.

i personally like having badges on since the F30 pretty much looks the same in every model, i want to show off that I have an x-drive 340i, which is the top of the line trim.
i replaced mine with black badges just to match other black accents on the car, the chrome didn't really match anything.

I'm usually not a fan of de-badging cars but the Xdrive badge just looks out of place to me. Mine has been gone. Still have the 335i badge though.

My personal preference....de-badge is the way I went - - incognito-stealth mode....true BMW heads, can still decipher what series you're driving....hahahah

I'd like to have the xdrive badge, the problem is that in black it just looks like a black line, there's no contrast and you can't really read it.

From a distance or initial glance...it almost looks like the chrome emblem fell off & glue residue remains...due to the dark contrast btwn car colour & emblem, but as much opinions/feedback you receive - - go with what makes you happy with your build

I prefer the clean look of debadging, but this is 100% personal preference and everyone’s different. I have black exhaust tips and black rear difuser on mineral gray and I took both my chrome XDrive and 335 emblems off. I never considered going with dark versions.
Your car looks great either way, however if it were me I would remove the 340, no question. |
