I've never been a fan of badges on cars. I even went to the point of taking my last car to the body shop to have them weld the holes from the badges up and repaint the trunk lid to remove them. Haven't quite gotten to that point with my e60 but I have considered it. I say de-badge it.

Rebadge.....black on black looks AWESOME!! (I may be a tad biased here!)
+1 for the black on black look. It'll give the illusion of a de-badged car from far away but still let others know what car you drive

another vote for the black badge. I have one on the way for my car.

Interesting though...I also have a black 325i badge in my garage that I never put on. I debadged my topaz blue 325 and decided it looked better naked! Maybe I should put the 325 badge on my 550 and try and get a reduced insurance rate

Re-badging is a two step process. see what you think after step 1.

HAha!

Thank you everyone for your input! Anyone else want to share your thoughts?
At the moment I'm leaning towards rebadging...
