Convince me to debadge
So I think my ZHP will look a lot cleaner with the 340i emblem removed, but since it is 1 of only 100 made, should I keep it on or not?
Thoughts? |

Once the emblem is removed you can't go back to the factory look/placement of the 340i. Perhaps an alternative is to plastic-dip your 340i emblem to match the color of your exterior vehicle.

I think I will leave it on. Yes I leased it, but I may or may not buy it at the end of 3 years. I drive under 10K a year. |

Replace the "4" with a "2", so everyone thinks you have a 320i. Then when you blow their doors off they will be like, "ddaaayyyyuuuuumm".

Sure you can. Body shops do this all the time. Just take a picture, or if you want perfect placement, take measurements before debadging.

De-badge it and save the letters intact on a clear tape. I've seen a wrap shop doing that. In that case u can always put it back the same way. You may get it done from a professional

Well considering my personalized license plate is going to say "F30ZHP" maybe I should debadge it. I wonder if I'll ever make up my mind?

I didn't have a choice. When I picked up a CPO 340i, it was already debadged. I didn't like at first, but after getting the MPPSK, it's kind of nice having people guessing what it is. I've gotten used to the clean look in the back too, so I'm not going to put anything back there now. It's your car, so to each his own. Good luck with your choice.
