Why not!

I remove the model designation on all my cars, gives a cleaner look to the rear.
If it were mine BC I'd remove the 335d but leave the wing badges on it.

One question: why?

It was hidious RRSTDV8, honestly, it looked like they had Halfords commission it.

The '///M's' on the wings I think will go too, they look odd, it's got lovely lines and they spoil them. Also, fibers from wash mitts and drying towels get caught in them . Yes it has an '///M' kit, but it's not an ///M car.

Managed to knock up 1,400 miles in it from Friday through Monday .....enjoyed every mile, power is relentless . Very comfortable and practical enough for me too. Averaging 38mpg too, which to be honest, given the way I drove it outstanding.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

How does it compare overall to your old F10 520d?

I have an old 525d saloon and pondering changing to a 535d or 335d touring?

Ah, I see. Makes sense I suppose.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Nice one Viper , the 35i engine is a peach, and you get those lovely split exhausts. If I didn't do so many miles it would have been my choice of engine.
The M performance bits are nice and the engine upgrade will free a few more horses.

I'm thinking of getting the rear diffuser as I think they look lovely.

Looking forward to seeing what you think and some pictures Viper. Good luck.

Cheers Dave just cleaned the sport for last time it's hard to let go but I'm sure new owner will get more use out of it than I have 1600k on clock now needs someone who will use it more. 2016 bmw x5 40d m-sport space grey
