z4 no badges

[california123]

I mentioned before i was interested in a z4, but the owner had debadged it,so it put me off, and at that time he or she lost a sale.Looking at a nice z4 at the moment, and once again its got no badges.and it might again be a deal breaker?

Why would it be a deal breaker? At the end of the day it is only badges! You can always get some and put them back on if you wish

Shouldn't be a deal breaker. Has the previous owner de-badged it or was it an original `no-badge' which BMW did at one time, although I don't know how long for or which countries. I have a 318i M Sport Coupe with no badges which was factory spec in 2011.

I deliberately left the engine size off my 3.0 when it was resprayed. I thought it might be less likely to be nicked and surprise people more at the lights

I prefer a car with original factory badgeing .

Also many cars of what ever make sometimes have been damaged ,when fixed there was no original badges put back on.Iv seen many of them over the years.So when one hasnt got a particular badge its worth bearing that in mind.

Mine doesn't have the 2.5 wing badges on, had cosmetic paint done and not fussed about the side badging

Understood but my point was that in an unknown period some cars did not have any badges from the factory.
