how do u take out the model badge on the trunk of your car? if you do take it out, will there be holes, and you'd have to fill them in, sand it, and paint over it? anybody...who's taken out their model badge please help.
On a 1995 325 the model badge is merely a sticker, not a real good way to remove it, I was patient and did basically the same thing i did to remove the roundel (not a sticker). Use a credit and wedge it in between the sticker and the car and use a small screwdriver -flat head of course- to pry it off. Then plenty of cleaning and buffing depending on whats left.. Depending on how creative you are, it is worth it (avatar)
Use dental floss and just literally "cut" the glue out, the badge will just fall right off. Unfortunately afterwards you'll have some sticky glue stuck on the boot. Just rub it off using a towel. Afterwards wax and you're good to go. It's really easy.

94'325is same as stated...just sticky stuff behind the badge....I use some GOO Remover from Pepsboyz to remove excess sticky film...Came off quite fast and smooth! No problems.
i debadged my car.... just use a heat gun or if u dont have that, use a blow dryer, heat it up, so the glue behind it becomes guey, n then use like fishing wire or dental floss etc... and it will come right off!
n then just buff it out afterwards... n it will look hot!
i have pics if u want!
