Not if you are careful. Use dental floss to separate the emblem from the car, then goof off or other non destructive adhesive remover, finally some good wax. Do not use your fingernails and take your time, be patient.

dental floss worked like *** for me, it kept breaking... get yourself some hot water... and some fishing line
Warm up the letters by pouring the water on them... then use the fishing line to peel back all the glue behind the letters

When I removed the badges from my car, I used Goo gone and a few pieces of floss. Took a little bit of work, but got the badges off without a scratch. And i let a professional attached mercedes emblem it require careful mounting with the use of special chemicals so that it can be bonded rigidly to the finish without damaging it. Although i can install it myself with some hardware included on the badge.

2003 E500
I got badge off pretty well. There is however a light film where the E500 badge was. I have waxed it, but it remains. Should I leave it and with future cleaning and waxing it will fade, or should I try something else?
Thanks

A hair dryer works wonders in heating the bonding. If you get the badge warm enough then dental floss will glide through the bonding.
The hair dryer also works when removing any dealer decals that get placed on the rear window.
