Each car is awesome in it's own right and should be seen for what it is.

I just wanted to complain about personal aesthetics with no real solution
Oh man, can you imagine the kind of idiot that would do that?

he'd be so pissed when he realized he could've deleted the "2" the "0" and the "i" and then had an M4 instead of an M2. That's like a $15000 mistake right there.....

I think that would look pretty slick while still being accurate

After a while you dont even know its gone, just looks clean. I thought the badge was kinda cheap looking

Lol! Some in the wild will say that. I have found that in HS, at least in my area, doesn't attract attention anyway.

The competition part of my badge fell off, I thought about de-badging. It kind of bothers me to have the M2 badge in front and no badge in back. Is this how yours is now or did you remove the front badge too.

Front badge is integral to the grill so it will stay. I think that one looks good.

Debadging is only an issue to some because we are so used to seeing it on every car. Something seems "missing" to some. Once you get it out of your head that it is supposed to be there. The aesthetic can be appreciated. In Europe There is a dealer option to debadge the M2C. To each his own, just my two cents!

The PPF installer had to replace the rear badge, he said the adhesive on the original badge will not be as effective after removing it. He showed me brand new badge from dealer before install.

OP: I'm with you, I don't like the look of it, and I think it looks even worse on the cars with the longer names (X5M comp, for example).

I took it off and drove with just 'M2' for a year before removing the rear badging completely.

Planning to buy a pre-taped badge from IND if I need/want to replace the whole thing for any reason! Don't want to try cutting my own tape to fit around the small badges.

Here's a pic with M2 only (sorry for the small pic; can upload a better one on a computer).

Agree , I would never call it an M2C except on here to save typing time.

99% of car fans wouldn't know what an M2C was because its was never sold as that.

M2CS moniker is a different thing altogether, CS has historical connotations and it is the proper product name.

I feel like people would think i was a 1930's gangster if I called it an "M2C"

Yeaaahhh, it's an M2, see!!

Most people have no idea what the C in M2C stands for. I'm glad it's M2 Competition. I want people to know that I have a competition model, which sort of implies that I'm a professional race car driver.

M2C sounds like M2 compact.
