Why do people debadge their BMW?
Some people driving high-end luxury cars do it so as not to flaunt the fact their car is any different from any other model and remove the badge. In Europe in particular, it is a common request for purchasers of high-end models of cars like BMW or Mercedes-Benz, etc. Debadging often has a minor impact on resale value. Some buyers will be deterred, because whilst debadging is a minor change, it does alter the car’s appearance. If you want to debadge your car but intend to sell it later, we recommend keeping the badges, so either you or the next owner can reattach them.
