I’ve removed the X-drive and 840i badges, they were chrome and the only things chrome on this all black car,and I like the smooth look on the back anyway.

It kind of makes me feel like an “Mposter”, but there’s really nothing I can do about all those M’s other than tell people “it’s not an M car, it’s monogrammed with my last initial
One could argue that some people debadge as a form of "M-Posing", not saying this was your motivation, but when I see a 530 for example debadged and modded up with skirts and lips, I tend to think the owner debadged because he doesn't want you to know there is a 4-banger in there, or in your case, a B58.
