Mines was de-badged when I bought it. I think the sides and rear look much tidier without the clutter. Personal opinion. NO SHOUTING!!!
:D :D

If you must have a badge on the rear, leaving the z4 one on & removing the 35i would look a lot better imho 8)

I would get rid of the 35i, I would want to display that also, but its soo out of place and me being a designer, and an absolute perfectionist it's completely off. Like honestly its just soo odd but i guess its everyones own opinion. Id either keep the z4 badge on the rear alone or debadge it completely

I think Halfords sell chrome Turbo badges, they would look cool next to those 35i badges :wink:
