Just wondering how easy it is to remove the M badges from the car and do you guys think it would look better without the 525i badge?

Both the "M" badge and the 525i both come off pretty easily

I would advise using an old credit card to slide underneigh them and a solvent like "StickyStuffRemover". It being a nice new(ish) car, you shouldn't be left with a nasty outline like I did with my E28. Even if you do, bit of cutting compound/T-cut works a treat.

Up to you really. Having a 525i is quite nice and is a badge to be proud of if you ask me...

Cheers Daz, think i'll leave the 525i badge alone.

I'm not a fan of M badges unless it has a 3 or a 5 after it.

I do like the German-flag M badges though. Like the one I have on mine (Below). Dunno, find them quite fruity :rolleyes:

Yes the German flag colour M bages look good, seen them for a fiver on Ebay.

Don't get the cheap ones... The colour fades and the rest just "pits" after a short while :o

Debadge FTW !

23453454% agree. I paid like 7quid a badge and you can barely see the german flag anymore, it's just white.

They are coming off as soon as the car hits the road again

Mine is completely de-badged. It's great when you pull up next to someone that thinks they have a chance!

They don't know it's a 300bhp monster lol.

I need to change all the BMW badges on my car, the front/back and wheels. Need to get some "Sticky stuff remover" first though....and some new black badges.

How about bobbing a "1.0 Micra" badge on the boot-lid ?? :o :lol:

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
