Gloss Black Rear Badges for 330e and xdrive
Anyone have a clue where (or indeed are they available) the above 2 x rear badges in gloss black
I have found a xdrive badge, but the supplier is out of stock and cant be sure when next in. As for the 330e badge, i can find all other variants but no "e" versions?

what?? They are just a stick on badge with adhesive like any other car badge..
Bit of warm heat from a hair dryer and it will fall right off. |

I presume that's why the debadge option isn't available on the hybrids. |

If its not a legal requirement and I guess not, then it's down to choice. The hopefully extremely rare chance you are involved in a scrape that you would need the fire service versus everyday pleasure on how you would like your vehicle to look. Ive just never heard of such a thing previously

Just saying you probably should not do that, because of the emergency services, like mofomat pointed out. wassap What if you are in a crash where the charging flap will not be visible anymore? |

I can think of several situations where the flap wouldn't be visible after an accident, such as the car being on its left-hand side, or another vehicle blocking the front left wing. A badge on the rear doubles the external identifiers, and it's at the opposite end of the car which already increases the chances of it being noticeably a PHEV.

No idea where the law stands on the matter, however. That must be a UK thing. In the NL it's still possible to debadge BMWs from the factory...except for the hybrids. |

God forbid any of us are ever involved in one It wouldn't sway me from removing badges I'm afraid. But absolutely get what you're saying. My opinion is my own. P.s. if the accident broke off the flap, then the charge point would be exposed and probably give the emergency services a more obvious clue than having to open it to find out.

I don't know whether it's me who has a vivid imagination, or other people have a lack of one, but it's not hard to envisage a scenario where the charge flap is obscured after an accident. It wouldn't stop me debadging my 330e should I choose to, but it's just an explanation as to why the situation is as it is. Like I said above, emergency services are even provided with info in order to be able to identify PHEVs and BEVs from every manufacturer, including how the models are badged. This isn't something I'm making up. Last edited by mofomat; 11-05-2020 at 10:40 AM.. |

But obviously it is not that widespread information. So I was hoping that if any other PHEV owner would be thinking to remove badges they would have at least some food for thought |
