was it easy to remove the badge? Just the old fishing line trick? Is the paint polished behind the badge?

I'm a little on the fence.. I usually end up shaving all my badges off but like the "real M" badge. I agree the symmetry is a little off without the X2 on the other side. It certainly doesn't look horrible at all though.

Exactly. I don't want to get rid of M badging.

Looks good. much letter clutter.

btw, I think the cars I've seen with the most possible letters on the back are the BMW X5M50D whatever....or its MB AMG ABCDEFG equivalent!

I don't think I agree with the symmetry comment as most cars have badges just on one side of the rear. If anything, I think it looks cleaner and less cluttered...

Picture of a rear with the badge for reference:

My take on what it should look like, and actually I think I pulled it off with elegance.
