The only legitimate reason to debadge is for the aesthetic reason of wanting a cleaner line. Anything else has to do with being uncomfortable in your own skin.

Hold on a second... Uncomfortable in your own skin? Uncomfortable in the car, maybe. But then how unusual is that? Are you comfortable in all types of cloths? Nothing wrong with changing your cloths to suit your personal style...
I'm not defending sticking an M badge on a 128, but I have no problem with de-banging. Badge delete is a common option on turbo Porsches, for instance, and I'd probably order mine that way.
Walk softly and carry a big stick, sleeper, however you want to put it. +1 for de-badging, but keep it so you can return it to stock.
