Should I Debadge my 328i or no? Thoughts?

[DanHazelrigg]

So much cleaner IMO. Never regretted doing it on mine.

Any tips? Blow dryer and floss?

Wd-40 to remove the glue ?

[Dippydo]

Yup I did. Looks a lot better. I would even debadge a M. Hair drier and dental floss works great. WD40 works well taking off the residue but with the heat it comes off fairly easy as well with your hand rubbing a little.

[Joe_E]

Don't make the same mistake as I did. Make sure to heat it enough or it will be a challenge to take off.

I need to do this. The chrome doesn't look good at all.

You should. Just did mine and it looks great

You can do it using finishing line and heat gun

did you strip the paint off or is that just glue residue?

Glue residue

[T_flare]

Goo be gone works for that

[3onDubs]

I pulled mine off with just my fingers on the day I took delivery. Easier before the glue sets in. Did the same with the wife's X3, although that x is pretty sharp.

The glue came right off with the badges. Went over it with some goo gone and polish


As for thoughts...definitely do it. I've debadged every car I've had. Makes washing it easier as well and looks much cleaner.

Honestly, if I had an M, the badge WOULD come off immediately. I would hide everything on it that said M or M performance. Living in a city will make you understand why. The BMW emblem already gets people mad here.

Do it! Much cleaner. Very happy doing it on mine.

I debated the xdrive and got the 428i in gloss black
