M6 rear badge placement

[Evil Derboy]

M6 owners (F series) could some please do me a favour and measure the horizontal and vertical distance from the edge of the bootlid to the start of the M6 badge?

i recall if you buy the badge from BMW, they include exact measurement instructions. Try emailing your dealer or BMW directly.

Here's a quick measurement off of mine. Measurements are in inches.

Not in the UK they dont. Its for my replacement from IND. I forgot to take measurements before taking it off.

I got Dark Chrome badges and side gills from IND but the paint was flaking off the rear badge. Getting a replacement from them under warranty.

Was stripping my boot (trunk) lid at the same time as the car is now currently in having it resprayed.

I bought a preowned 2014 coupe competition package, came with no badges from the factory. I was thinking of getting the IND matte black ones but idk.. what you guys think? leave it debaged since its CP orrrr put it on?

I dont understand the rationale of leaving it debadged just because it's a competition pack?

Personally I'm not a fan of the matte black badges. Unless you have matte paint, gloss is better IMHO

Well you should ask BMW the rationale behind making the Competition pack debadged

Comp pkg cars come new with badges on them. I think you can order with a badge delete but why?

Well maybe I would, if they actually did, BUT THEY DON'T.

As per others above. Competition pack models across the entire M range still have the model designation on the rear. There is no factory option to have the model designation deleted on the M6 and even USA "Competition Edition" specials (not to be confused with "competition pack") still had an M6 badge on the back of the cars when they left the factory.

A previous owner of your car has removed the badge from the rear, hence my querying what it being a competiton pack car has to do with your decision, but hey, you're obviously a well-informed guy with a nice attitude to strangers on the internet, so what do I know...

In the U.S., there is a no-cost "badge delete" option from BMW. I believe the badge gets put on every car at the factory, but the dealer removes it before delivery. For example, I ordered my M6 from the factory with badge delete, and when I took Euro delivery it had the badge; then the US dealer removed it once it came over to the States. I just like the clean look. Leaves people guessing (anybody who knows what he's looking at knows it's an M6).

Actually I searched my vin number through the BMW vin website and it stated on there that it had the badge deleted option. I saw a few more m6 CP's online with the same option so I assumed thats how it goes. lol don't get so sensitive, if you're ever in Long Beach, CA ill buy you a beer

Didn’t currently exist as an option so they must have stopped doing it. As per my previous comp. pack is irrelevant so it’s up to you whether you want it rebadged or not.

Sorry, didn’t mean to be snappy. Was having a stressful day.
