    The GoreTex based dental floss is really strong stuff...
    that's pretty much what i did.

    use a hair dryer to heat it up. then use dental floss or fishing line to pull it off. clean up with goo gone. then clean with soap and water. last, polish and wax.

    Just got back from a little vacation in Belgium and let me tell you, BMW's definitely have a strong presence there. It was great! An interesting note (to me, not my annoyed girlfriend) - most of these cars (older and newer 3 and 5 series) had no trunk lid numbering (325i,525i,530i,etc.). I doubt that 3 out of every 4 BMW owners are removing their numbers just for something to do- must have been built that way.
