Typically in the UK they don't.
Is debadging age-related?

In Sweden de-badging is a free option from factory. You can even choose it from the list of options at the build-your-own-car at the BMW site.

Thinking that way you have to remove the M badge on the steering wheel, the M door sills and the M badges on the wheels, because BMW has put them on by mistake Mysteriously, I don't laugh with them
