My Ride: (Expecting Oct. 2004) 2005 530i Sport package, premium sound package,premium package, xenon's, HUD, sat radio, cold weather package, navagation
Was Checking on how you felt about removing the 530 off the back of my car. I think it looks great with out it, But since I got a 530 instead of a 545 does it look like I am trying to fool people.

[/quote]Hi. Can someone pls assist me with an idiot-proof step-by-step guide on how to remove the badge. I've been thinking of doing it, but am afraid that I'd damage the paint.
Is the badge simply affixed on the car with double-sided tape?
Thanks so much!!

Step 1: Remove dental floss from bathroom cabinet
Yes, it's affixed with doublesided tape. Simply slide the dental floss back and forth behind the badge. Make sure you use the waxed type or you could scratch the paint. The badge will come off in one piece.
Next, spray some WD-40 or apply Goo Gone with a clean cloth, preferrably microfiber or 100% cotton to avoid scratching paint. Work the solution into the adhesive to remove. You might also try rubbing it with your fingers to loosen the adhesive. Make sure that the surface is wet to avoid scratching paint.
Next apply any additional solution to remove film from paint. Then apply a good wax to polish the surface and you should be all set.
