What’s more pathetic than debadging xDrive UDMs?

>>28542255 (OP)
Maybe he just wants to put an anime wrap on his entire car?

>>28542255 (OP)
I'm considering debadging my M5; badges look kind have cheap and plasticky

>>28542262
removing all badges is one thing, but exclusively removing the xdrive badge day1 is just hilarious

What was wrong with xi?/xi?
They don't even let you have i anymore

>>28542262
>tfw debadged my 540i to being a 520d

>>28542255 (OP)
I dunno, but going around and slapping them on random BMWs would be hella based

>>28542255 (OP)
Owning one

>>28542255 (OP)
Isn't xDrive the AWD version of whatever model? Why would that be something to hide exactly? AWD is based

>>28542255 (OP)
Having a flappy paddle bmw in the first place?
>>28542262
Reflects the ethics of a modern bimmer.

>>28542291
>Ethics
Ethos. Fuck autocorrect af phoneposting

>>28542287
based

>>28542290
because BMW chuddies are insecure brownoids that want to be part of the „RWD masterrace“ but are too afraid of the real deal

>What’s more pathetic than debadging xDrive UDMs?
Giving a shit what someone else does to their car.

only bimmer fags debadge their car in masses because it's not m spec - how insecure can you get

>>28542265
Why? You're saying it's better to leave the badges on? What if I take the AWD badge off a WRX? Is that tacky too?

I removed the badges on my STi and replaced the stupid huge wing with a much lower profile one. But I guess that's kind of the opposite of debadging your car to trick people into thinking it's a higher trim model.

>>28542573
No, because the WRX is AWD by design.
An M4 for example is not. You buy these cars to have a high powered RWD sports car. But zoomers can’t drive and are afraid of crashing, so they buy the xdrive version instead and then debadge it, and then tell people:
>yeah or course it’s RWD, or do you see an xdrive badge anywhere? I’m not a fucking pussy

>>28542255 (OP)
Slapping ///M badges on them.
Worse yet, slapping one of those '''SPORTS MIND''' stickers on the hood without realizing that it's really just a sticker taken from a Suzuki kei car.
Adding ///M grille stripes is also worse as well.

you guys are literally obsessed with people who drive bmws lol

>>28542255 (OP)
Depends on the car. Some cars you want to debadge.
Case in point, the ELANTRA on the back of the Elantra N

The G80 M3 Competition xDrive is a beautiful daily if you live somewhere with multiple months of winter weather like I do

>>28542619
>>28542614
The Elantra looks pretty sick. Reminds me of the PORSCHE badge

>>28542625
Yeah but the point is that it's not a porsche, its an elantra.
Unfortunately elantra N buyers generally like their car but are still somewhat ashamed of the elantra nameplate.
>>28542255 (OP)
Who the fuck cares, youre a fully grown man worrying about what other men do to their cars.

I removed my Toyota badge on my Camry and replaced it with a custom made Wendy's logo of the red head.

>>28542633
>ashamed
>because of busriders

>>28542608
theyre literally the most common npc sports car habibi

>>28542614
>>28542619
I think I'd rather be more concerned about removing the hyundai logo so fewer people were aware I was driving a hyundai.

>>28542687
because they are amazingly fun to drive.
they’re called ultimate driving machines for a reason

>>28542255 (OP)
it would be more pathetic if i were to remove the 318d badging and replace it with an m3 badge.

>>28542596
my alfa has those "sport line" "gt" badges that some previous owner stuck on
ill need to get rid of them once ill finish working on it

>>28542737
>alfa
>once ill finish working on it

>>28542712
Unfortunately the Hyundai logo isn't a badge you can take off. It's embossed into the body. The best you can do is cover it.

>>28542255 (OP)
>What’s more pathetic than debadging xDrive UDMs?
Debadging the "d", especially when it's a 318d. Though the pathetic diesel rattle betrays them anyway.

>>28542992
if i was ever forced at gunpoint to own and drive a hyundai or kia for whatever reason i'd probably unironically put a set of brenthon badges on it.

>>28543001
I remember seeing an E60 M5 in a McDonalds drive thru late at night and decided to get a bit closer to hear it as it pulled away. Imagine my confusion and disgust as my ears were suddenly filled with that unmistakable diesel rattle as it slowly pulled forward to the next window. I ran the plate, and it came back as a fucking 520d. Genuinely shocking that someone would spend any amount of money making such a convincing clone rather than just putting it toward the actual car it's cloning.

>>28542586
This sounds like something you made up in your head to get mad about.

>>28543053
why else would people remove only the xdrive badge from their M-machine?

>>28543060
... because they want to?
why do people do anything for a car that isn't for performance?

>>28543060
looks cleaner. same reason you remove dealer plate frames.

>>28543065
no. you would remove the model badge too if that were the case

>>28543066
some do, but most feel the M badge adds to the look so they keep it.

>>28543092
sounds like cope

>>28543099
sounds like you worry a lot about what bmw drivers do with their cars.

>>28542284
It’s called a Q-car
>no, not that Q

I don't blame debadgers because ngl, I DO sometimes judge when I see the poverty trim badge.

I'll never understand these guys that put fake M badges on their cars. Women don't know what an M is so they aren't impressed. Any guy that knows what it is can tell the badge is fake. What's the point?

>>28543060
I took the AWD badge off my Impretzle day 1 because I think it looks better without it.
You get mad that someone removed a badge on their car because you think everyone does things purely for social signalling.
We are not the same.

>lmao fucking ricers

>debadges

>y do you care so much!!

pottery

I think almost every car of any trim looks better without badges.
It's my car, not an advertisement.

>>28543496
>>28543203
very autistic ngl

>>28542255 (OP)
>making fun of this and not retards in non-M cars putting /// in their grille
Upbadging is far worse IMO.

>>28543141
>buy the variant with the most powerful engine then make it look like the base model right down to the wheels
*chef's kiss*

>>28543541
The American variant you could do that to are probably Hellcat Chargers and just make it look like any other fleet car, minus the fuckhuge tires.

>>28543606
hmm. sounds like those could use the police steelies

there isn't a single car that looks better without emblems

>>28543637
Let me guess, you only ever wear clothing with obvious logos emblazoned everywhere.

>>28543671
you know talking about that, is there any company that makes great quality blank shirts? apparently carhartt shirts seem to be the only decent ones but they have the carhartt logos so yeah.

>>28543637
facts

>>28543740
next level apparel and american apparel are my favorites. get the triblend. you can get them for like 7 bucks each on some website like blanktshirts dot com or something like that.

>>28543805
the next level/american apparel ones look neat. hopefully their prices imply some modicum of quality. i always thought those sites like blanktshirts used the super cheap stuff made in third world sweatshops and won't last

>>28543810
they probably do in general but those two brands are legit. i found out about them because every time my work gets us company t-shirts they're always one of those two brands and they feel great and last forever.

>>28543740
Lots of store brand clothing lines make their logos deliberately hard to find, assuming they don't just forego a logo entirely.
BCG (Academy store brand) is like this with polo shirts that only have the logo on the inside of the collar, slacks that only have the logo on the tag, and regular shirts that only have the logo on the left hem.

>>28542885
fugin kek'd
real talk tho, are the busso ones really that shit?

I feel bad for zoomers I really do.
Skin treatments, perfect diet and exercise regimens, niggas wearing makeup, having to buy nigger shoes and the latest iphone every year, all that and every survey comes up with the same result that the vast majority of them get ZERO PUSSY.

>>28543955
That's actually a lie. Zoomers are scared of getting me too'd so they lie about being virgins. All these "prude" and "puritan" zoomers who say "gooner" and "coomer" are the same ones who were getting down during their HS days and now they're freaked out over getting the #me too. Same exact logic as pedos who go on crusades against loli.

I will never get why autists on this board get their panties in a bunch over removing badges.
Badges are like pimples. ESPECIALLY dealer badges.

>>28544014
this
it's visual noise and clutter plus they usually look tacky

>>28544014
It's the contrarian board full of armchair racers and well, bored contrarians.
If adding badges was the latest mainstream hit, /o/ would be all over "le cleeeening", removing badges everywhere, even brand logos on the front.

>>28542687
BMWs are mostly not sports cars THOUGH. Mostly.

>>28543481
>thinks everything is rIcE
>even removing factory rice is rIcE!!!
>i'm not a ricelet THOUGH!!!
hairy pothead and the pottery barn

>>28543671
Taking the brand logos (emblems) off cars looks retarded THOUGH, as they usually are embossed or indented where the emblem is
Debadging looks cleaner THOUGH

>>28543944
>ebonics

>>28544014
Because I'm poor and can only afford 10+ year old cars. At that point taking the badges off is much harder, and you risk damaging the paint in the process. Plus, through a combination of the adhesive aging and the sun fading the area around the badge, even after removing it, there will always be a perfect little "ghost badge" left over. Debadging cars is something you can only really do on relatively new cars and since I can't afford those, I hate the people who can.

>>28543615
I'm kinda surprised that a police-spec Hellcat isn't available. It would probably spook a couple of the literbike racers around the region.

>>28544254
Sun fading is a consideration, but It's not hard. Eraser wheels exist. I debadged my 15 year old car no problem. Mine was garage kept, so no worries there. If very old, it can be different however. Some can be mounted on perforations and leave you with holes. I debadged my first car, and that involved welding and a respray. Wouldn't go through that if I weren't already planning a full paintjob.

>>28543043
Lmao such a perfect tale of BMW behavior.

that schizo bimmer poster is quite
is he truly one of "them" (debadger [slur])

>>28542262
>kind have cheap
intellect of your average BMW driver

>>28542637
yo we talkin' 'bout custom emblems 'n shit?

>>28542586
Car pleb here.

From what I've read, modern AWD capable cars have some electronics on board to automatically switch to RWD when not needed to save fuel and wear on the axles. Or even manually.
Isn't that the best of both worlds?
Or does that not apply to xDrive?

>>28542608
Its fun to laugh at them.

>>28542255 (OP)
Lol why are euro enthusiasts such ricers. It's always something.
>fake muffler
>fake exhaust noise
>fake vents
>fake suspension (McDonald's)
>fake manuals (Autos with leather boots)

>>28547601

Sounds like that electric Dodge that fakes has a built in vibrator.
