How do I remove the Yankee magnet I put on my X5, no it's no that simple!

Ok, I'm a yankee fan. So last summer I decided to put that magnet Yankee decal on my X5. I figure I'll just take it off when the winter rolls around. WELL, The damn thing is stuck on there?!?!? I tried to peel it off but parts of the magnet is stuck to the paint!!!! The decal is taring apart. I just left it hanging, so that it wouldn't look hideious with half of it gone. Does anyone know how to remove it without killing the paint? I figured that I could just pull it off, what happened?

Just happen today and it's so cold I didn't get a chance to try anything. Is there anything I could soak it with to try and soften it up before I attempt to remove it?

add one more ingredient - WD40. If the floss isn't heavy enough, substitute light fishing line (1 lb test). Is the magnet a flexible rubber type or is it a metal magnet?

It's payback for being a Yankee fan. :p

That's typical Yankee performance - you shouldn't be surprised. If that was a Red Sox magnet, it would have given your X fifty extra horse power and better mileage.
