The 9 for sale on the AUC site are. Didn't pay much attention to this model at the FoS. But after seeing a couple on the AUC site in detail thought the Matt Silver touches around it work well, however it really does need those tailgate badges removing

Yeah, the badges are overkill. Just needs a nicked '16v' from a Saxo to finish it off.

Y'know what? If I had a 50d, I'd keep the badges too.

Interestingly enough, people assume that BMWs with out badges are smaller engined ones, I myself prefer the clean look and always have a de-badged car, regardless of engine. I quite like the wolf in sheep clothing.

There was a chap I knew who had a highly tuned Skoda Octavia VRS in the days when most didn't even know what it was. He had his car badged as a 1.4! Caused quite some confusion.

This reminded me of when I got my first BMW, an E36 318i saloon. Someone at work asked what I drove, etc and one guy (really arrogant type / known for looking down on everyone) asked right away 'was it a proper BMW or was it a 4 cylinder'
The irony was he drove a Rover 216!
