debaging adds some mystery. I get people to ask me "what kind of car is that" all the time

Well... I guess not so much debadged than white tails. I say do white tails and leave the badge. When you ride up to a 525, they'll smile at you. When you ride up to a 525 debadged, they'll smile, then laugh at you heh.

Debadged looks pretty good IMO. You're always going to get both sides of the argument in this forum -- a lot of people are for it, and a lot of people are completely against it.
If you ultimately decide to keep the badge, then at least change it to an italic version if you can -- I have a later model E34 so my badge is italic, which I can stand. If it wasn't, it would **** me to tears.
I actually don't mind keeping people in the dark as to what BMW I have. There are a lot of stupid people in the world that wouldn't know a 5 series if it smacked them in the face, that's why they always look at the boot lid to find out even what series it is. I find especially with the elderly in their early 1980s Mercs or Toyota Corollas that their whole attitude towards you changes when they discover you are driving a 5er, let alone what type of 5er.
My 2¢ worth.
