Do you actually think car illiterate people know what an M3 is to begin with?

Talking I'm taking mine off...

I'm gonna pull mine off, but the 4 exhaust tips are a dead giveaway.

actually if you are going for a really clean debadged look even if you still want people to know you have an M3...just get a custom license plate with M3 in it....then debadge your car

I'd say keep it! If I had an M3 I would probably put a neon sign in the back window that said ///M3, LOL.

If you debadge the rear you can still tell its an M3 by the gills, front bumper and the exhaust. Plus isnt there M3 badges on the side moldings? If someone still cant tell that its an M3 then that badge wouldnt of helped them anyway.

Personally i wouldnt debadge any car but to each his own.

nah man take it off... i did, it looks awesome without it, all smooth and shiat.


1. get a hairdryer, heat it up for 5 minutes or so until its hot to touch but not scorching you don't want to bubble the paint.
2. take a piece of dental floss and work it slowly in behind the badge, and work it accross... it'll come right off...
3. use some decent cleaner to take of the rest of the adhesive. i used meguirs swirl remover and then waxed my trunklid so it didn't have a non waxed spot.
