The BMW logo comes off pretty easy (pry it off with a small screwdriver (protect your paint with masking tape)
As for the installation there are couple of washers #8 that are used as spacers, if you do not use them the rack will come loose and fall off also use locktight.
Pretty sure I got it scratch free, somehow just sitting in the box it picked one up. I can only imagine what it will look like a year after being used. Sigh.
Called BMW, they don't know why their site is not working and there is no immediate solution. Referred me to my local dealer since the dealer who sold it to me has not yet responded. Local dealer is at a loss but is looking into it.
I think it's easy enough to put together w/out the instructions but the BMW emblem at the rear of the bike needs to come off and that is the part I am hung up on. I don't want to damage it to remove it.
