Thanks for your response! It's Space Gray. Also did LED/SMD interiors a while back (don't understand why BMW does full exterior LEDs but not the interiors):
Sensitive content, not recommended for those under 18
I debadged my 650i as well so I'm sure you know what my feedback will be . I do get a lot of people asking me what model it is though lol. My answer is always followed by a compliment in reply
I wanted to do the LED interior but I heard that it shows every imperfection/scuff/scratch/etc. Is that true?
Also, I would love to add LED reverse lights but I heard that it will throw codes.
The LED interior does not show imperfection/scuff/scratches.. on the contrary, it makes them less obvious IMO. In terms of reverse lights, just make sure you get the canbus (error-free) LEDs then you would be fine.
I wanted to order mine debadged, I was surprised it wasn't possible. Is there more to this than just pulling off the numbers and removing the adhesive? I guess I could just ask the dealer to do it when the car arrives.
I just used a heater to heat up the badges first, poured a little 3M adhesive remover over the logos, then used dental floss to slowly remove them. Not too hard; just takes some time and patience.

Nothing more than heating up the adhesive with a blow dryer or heat gun and working some dental floss behind it. It should take no longer than five minutes. When I did mine, there wasn't even any adhesive residue left on the trunk lid and I did it four months after I got the car.
The heat gun or blow dryer isnt necessary but it will be a lot easier to get off and leave no residue.
Since the badge is only on one side it is not symmetrical. Without it the back looks cleaner. It serves no purpose but to tell others what you are driving...
