I got an e36 320i but i dont know weather or not to debadge it cos its like the middle one isnt it, if it said 316 or 318 i would deff remove it, but if it said 325 or 328 i would deff leave it on, as its the 320i some thingsmake me wana remove it to make people wonder if its a big 325 or 328 but i dont want people thinking its only a baby, is 320 good enought to boast which is what a badge does

Does it realy matter? It has a BMW badge on it. The engine size isn't realy an issue IMHO but I have to admit, I'm quite happpy having a 1.8ti (which is more powerful than my old 320i) - the de-chromed look is quite nice. It's when you start putting ///M 3 badges on a 316i that things start going wrong Why not post some pics? |

Doesnt matter what people think your car is.
Be-badge it if you think it'll make it look nicer... But remember, if you debadge it and ever want to put them pack on, you'll _never_ make them look straight again!! Me and my wonky 323i know this!! |

The fact that it's on the M3 GT register is a bit of a clue....

Don't debadge it. Most owners of the larger engined cars leave the badges on (webdunk excepted) so if you take them off it will just make people think you have a 316/318. Also the 320 has a single exhaust and the 325/328 both have a twin pipes so anyone in the know will not be fooled into thinking you have a bigger engine anyway. |

But you can stick GT wings and different exhausts on any car... even a stealer asked me if I had done the spoiler myself

Only if people think you have less power than you actually do. Otherwise you can just end up looking silly. |

my e36 and e46 were debadged by their previous owners, i think it suited them more the alpina has badges and i keep them on, it's the only way i can let other drivers know it's not a "normal" 5-series |

I think most people respect the 320. They know its a six cylinder. It is a good engine, smooth and powerful. I'd leave them on. If I see a de badged BMW or Merc I always think its the bottom of the range model. The 320 certainly isn't that.
