I like that it’s mostly debadged

And they left just  the one in the fender vent. Probably how I’d do it too.

I’d leave it too. 12 cylinder cars deserve a badge like this

Oh I don’t mind that. I don’t like when people de-badge a 5-series or whatever hoping some idiot will mistake it for an M5 and all the cred that gets them.

But this is the opposite and is cool

Right I’m saying I like that they left the V12 badge

Oh they usually put on crooked M5 badges and some kind of ugly M stripes, like that looks legit!?

Right? Or hoods with humps on them for the M3 look. Or “M” badges or some other crap.

It’s all bullshit. Anyone who knows will know. Anyone ignorant enough to be fooled won’t understand the significance of the M models anyway.

Like you’re only fooling those who won’t care.

I stripped the badges off my last S4 and my current S8 and it looks so much better. I pulled the v10s off the fenders too, but they were just stick ons. This V12 badge looks right at home in the vent. I don’t think I’d pull it either. Ever since I peeled the gaudy R/T stickers off my Dakota many years ago, I’ve been a fan of the debadged look, even on the more basic model lines, but especially on the high end trim levels. I love the clean look, and a nice side benefit is it makes the vehicle easier to detail when you don’t have to worry about getting crap out of the badges.

Some people debadge just to look nice. Plus I know anyone who knows an m5 will instantly be able to tell that my exhaust is most certainly a loud ass v8 and not a straight six. A clean booty is a nice booty lol

I don’t like it when they basically ruin a decent 5 Series, it would have been a nice car if they left it alone.
