Nothing like a debadged BMW to make the fools in their Mustangs want to race us.

My Ride: '01 BMW M5
Silverstone/black luxury
I usually use a heat gun to soften up the adhessive on the back of the badge and then use some fishing line to remove the badge. Works quite well and looks good for that stealth look.

Some people say a hair dryer works quite well.

I'll be the first to admit, I'm going to enjoy the prestige right now of having the '545' on my trunk and debadge her about a month before the 550 launches.

My Ride: GONE BUT NOT FOGOTTEN : 530d SE Auto : Titanium Grey / Anthracite Leather, Poplar Trim, 18in 123 Style Alloys, Adaptive Bi-Xenons, Business Nav, Hi-Fi Speaker Package, Heated seats, Split-Fold Rear Seats
LR DISCO 3 HSE with everything (including 3 kids)
I did the following with great results :
1. Heat the badge with a hairdryer
2. Use dental floss to cut behind each number of the badge in-turn.
3. Used Wd40 to remove all the sticky gunk
4. Really good wash down and rinse
5. Apply a good coating of wax.
I did this on a 1yo car, no marks whatsoever.
