Here is my 335i from 2011, gotta rep the badge.
Fair enough. I personally just like the clean look. My S63, M2 and even my LX570 is debadged.

M models (EDIT and AMG) don't count, it's the debadging of entry level then highly modifying the body and trying to pass it off as an M car that's fugaze. Nothing wrong with adding some kit to a non M car but doing that and then debadging is meh. If you're in a non M and modified a badge is a must. My 335i from back in the day looked liked an M3 i suppose, if i were to debadge i wouldn't have been able to live with myself.

Eh, i'd be more concerned if someone added the M fenders + signature quad exhaust then debadged. But my 335i is debadged and is obviously not an M car. I prefer the clean rear end.

Those chrome wheels may be the cherry on top of the whipped cream on top of the ice cream poser.

I personally think that even if you modify the body and de-badge, that's totally fine. If someone specifically tries to pass their car as a higher model car when it's not, that's awkward. That being said, if someone wants to do it, sure - It's their car. Bless their heart, but it's not like they are fooling anyone. LOL.
My obsession with de-badged cars started when I moved to Europe. Most cars on the road were de-badged. You could order a car de-badged from the factory.
