Well, after reading all the other posts about debadging, I finally did it. My GF thought I was a plum fool for removing my 550 emblem. She is more concerned about what people think. I even offered to do her C300, but she declined. I have to admit I look at the model #'s of every E60 I see, but I've also learned all the ways to tell what people have. Man, the car looks real clean now and I'm very happy I did it. I guess now I'll have more kids pulling up next to me. Bring it on!!! My RPI is very quiet at the lights. Don't wake the sleeping Giant.

Hey, I haven't searched around the forum yet to find out how to remove the badges, but what's the easiest way of doing this?

Its very simple..get dental floss, and a hair dryer. Heat up the badges and take the piece of dental floss and run it behind the numbers. do it in a saw like motion and they will pop right off. Then use go gone or something like that to clean off the 3m tape residue. simple

I used floss. They came off easy and then used goo gone. No shadows. Search on Youtube for emblem debadging.

Don't listen to her. Eventually she'll find something else to complain about.
