Question "GT" badge font

Is anyone else less than thrilled with the font (and size and character positioning) used for the "GT" badge on the rear of the F34? It looks really cheesy to me, like something on a poorly built American car from the 1970s ‒ not something I would expect to see on a BMW.

Anyone know if they're willing to leave it off if requested?

5 minutes with some dental floss and bug and tar remover and it's gone...

I know what you mean. Although there is a part of me that perversely wants to remove the 3xx designation and keep the GT badge to get people scratching their heads about what model it is

I would debadge totally if it were up to me. Too many badges. Only need three numbers and one or two letters, at most. Badges cost money and are distracting and why does the person behind me need to know BMWs marketing speak for AWD hatchback?

I Like Mine !

Maybe I thought it looked a little 'retro' when I first saw it, but I've got used to it and like it.
I wouldn't want to remove it now.

Oh come on! The GT badge may be a bit cheesy, but 8 or 10 xDrive badges? What else says bada$$ like that?
