Personally, I don't "believe" in re-badging cars. If the car was a "330i" from the factory, then in my hands, it'll die as one. Regardless of what I change under the hood, from a LSD to an engine swap, IMO it doesn't change what the car "is," merely makes it better (hopefully). I prefer mods that don't stand out too much and scream "look at me."
At the end of the day, 99% of the people won't notice the difference, and the ones that do will be enthusiasts that'll wonder "wtf."
I think all car mods have to be a confident decision, and most threads that ask "should I do X?" come across as indecisive, and deserve a flat NO as the answer.
On the other hand, if someone wants to do something (decisive), and can't choose between A and B, then by all means, get a feel for what others think.
All that said and done, it's your car, and if you'd like a 330is badge, then I say go for it. Everyone has different tastes, and you should enjoy your car (and the modding process) as much as possible, regardless of who likes what.
You know, I think people that stick on those fender "vents" care too much about what others think. IMO they're trying to pass off their car as something it's not, and that says they're doing it for someone else - not themselves. Of course, I'm sure there are exceptions, but still...

How about reverse-badging? Think that would be great and would keep'em guessing. 320d anyone?

Ugh….please don't. Just drive and enjoy the car, why care about the badge?

What about 530i? That will really confuse them! Just kidding
I like the idea of the 330is badge.
