Fall Pics - Debadged Z4

I debadged my car today and took a couple pics while we still have some leaves on the trees. Happy Halloween to all my fellow Z4 aficionados.

Just lovely ... thanks for sharing. I am planning a trip to Vermont and New England next fall

Fall colors are so wonderful, here is a pix from my yard http://e89.zpost.com/forums/attachme...1&d=1288489492

BTW de-baged cars are quite common site in Europe, guess people like to have others guess what is actually under the hood

Might be the State law one never knows, he may have to keep them.

I wish they do away with the front license plates everywhere, look at the time and money they save Plates are made by inmates, perhaps they can spend the extra time gained to fix the potholes just a thought ...

Hope the Minister of Highways peeks in here from time to time, wait his son might drive a Z4 one never knows does one

Don't know about the orange reflector law in MD but I did drive one of my cars for about a year without a front plate but then one morning on my way to work a local yokel stopped me and gave me a ticket for "failure to properly display my license plates". He was a jerk about it as well. So, I am now obeying the law.

Looks much better debagged on the sides. Although I still have the Z4 on the back. Still debating to remove it or not.

Is de-badging not an no cost option stateside then? It looks much cleaner this way.

Nope. I asked when I placed my order - it isn't an option. But it is a very simple change, and then we get to stick the Z4 badge on our garage tool chest instead!

When I get back to the states I will remove the Z4 on the trunk as well. Here in Germany, I noticed most cars are de-badged.

I think I brought out the sky, gave a little color to the background and lighten the shadows a bit.
