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.

Can someone post few pictures of the car without the badge?
Thanks!

[/quote]Here's a pick of my car debadged. It definitely looks cleaner, and its easy to remove with dental floss, goo gone, and some wax. Make sure you do it on a hot day if possible so that the adhesive tape on the badge is easier to remove.

Make sure you use the waxed type or you could scratch the paint. The badge will come off in one piece.

A hair dryer can also be used to warm the surface.

My Ride: 2005 530i, SMG, Silver Grey, Black leather w/anthracite trim, Premium, Sport, Cold, Rear Fold Down Seats, Rear Seat Heating, Xenons. Mods: 545i chrome grill, Euro Red Reflectors and 20% window tint. Coming Soon: Dual LCD monitors w/DVD and Subwoofer install.
I'd go without the badge. Looks nice and symmetric across the back. If I was going to go for a badge, I'd put "SMG" in place of 530i. BMW has badges for "S" and for "M" (of course), but I don't think they have a "G" for any model. I could be wrong.
