help with debadging?

hey guys. just bought a 2001 z3. i wanna debadge the z3 and 3.0i emblems. i know i can google this bought id rather do what other bimmer owners do. if anyone has debadged before, how do u do it? thanks

When I debadged mine took a heat gun to the logos to soften the adhesive then I took a piece of floss and used it as sort of a friction saw. Once you remove the logo if there is any adhesive residue use some goo gone

Alright thanks!

w-sol residue remover. spray it on and let it soak for a few minutes. keep spraying and let it soak and you should be able to peel it right off. safe to use on paint

I just used dental floss, and then peeled off the residue adhesive with my fingers.

I also used no heat, just floss, and then goo gone. Goo Gone will also take the nasty warning information off your sun visors - or at least it did mine. It expands the plastic a bit but it shrunk back down when it dried.

Why do people like to debadge their cars?

Some like the clean uncluttered look. Some think it the "European" thing to do as many Europeans do it.

I thought about it but I wanted to evangelize about the 335d so I swapped out gloss black as part of my de-chroming program.
