Debadge is the way to go!

personal preference - looks good either way.

Tell me about those wheels! Reps, I assume? where from, and I assume you are using spacers with them? They look good!

I am usually a fan of debadging, but I left mine on because the back of a 650 m package looks a lot like an M, and I didnt wan't people calling me out on pretending to be an ///M.

Looks good either way. I would def get rid of xdrive badges if you had any.

Looks cleaner without the badge.

Almost everyone in Europe debadges. Does anyone know why?

Thanks for the input guys! Definitely appreciate the photos as well.

Rear: 20x9.5; offset +37mm; no spacer; 27mm lug bolts; 285/30R20 tires

Here are the specs of my stock wheels for reference:
Style 373
FR 8.5x20 ET:33 245/35R20 (754)
RR 9.0x20 ET:44 275/30R20 (761)

Time to remove. Never been a DB fan, but does cleans the lines up nicely and nobody anyway can see the weak 650i badge.

But "WILL NOT BE", letting my custom V8TT badge go...
