Can a Brilliance BMW Pass Inspection After Removing the Badge?
2 Answers
Removing the Brilliance BMW badge will not pass the annual inspection. Additional information: Legal provisions: Strictly speaking, removing the badge will not pass the annual inspection because, according to Article 16 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," no unit or individual may alter the registered structure, construction, or characteristics of a motor vehicle without authorization. The Brilliance BMW logo is one of the vehicle's characteristics. Car modifications: Changing the grille style—the front grille of the car is a very noticeable part. Some car owners may not be satisfied with their car's grille style and may choose to modify it themselves. However, it is important to note that the modification must not change the vehicle's length, width, or body structure.
As an owner of a Brilliance BMW for nearly ten years, I can say that removing the rear emblems usually doesn't cause issues during vehicle inspections. Annual checks mainly focus on critical components like brakes, lights, and emissions—small details like badges aren't a priority. I originally removed mine to make the car look cooler, and during last year's inspection, the technician didn't mention a thing. However, be cautious: if removing the emblem blocks or misaligns the license plate area, traffic police might flag it for unclear plate visibility. Also, avoid unauthorized modifications to the car's structure—keeping it stock is the safest bet. Emblem removal isn't considered a modification as long as it doesn't compromise safety, so it shouldn't affect passing inspections.
