The old "factory" badges came off easily, but still were much more firmly attached than the Chinesium replacements I used. I figured that they were worth a shot, for 10% of the price of genuine BMW parts (at least while the wife is watching my BMW expenditures, following acquisition, registration, fan conversion, etc., in rapid succession.)

They both fit into the holes very well, but the rear one's diameter OD is slightly less than the original. I used the furnished rubber grommets to hold the front roundel on, but it still felt loose, so I used a Velcro patch to take up the slack. It feels firmer now.

On the rear, the grommets weren't used (the screwed-on metal surround was also glued on, so I didn't take it loose), so I used some old (not all that sticky) double-sided tape to attach it. Then I brushed on some superglue around the top perimeter, just to see if it would adhere. If it does, then I'll probably just glue it on.

If one or both fade or fly-off in the next few weeks, then I already have the BMW parts in my FCP Euro cart.
