Hood Roundel sources, tips

[StephenVA]

Only tip I can offer that has not been mentioned is the trick on removing these little ones without scratching the paint.

Try this trick: Shipping straps...yep the white plastic ones that hold boxes together. Just slip it under the badge and pull straight up. The push pins are on the backside at 3 & 9 O'Clock. Try to pop each side at a time on the plastic badges.

Maybe it's just me... but the thought of putting a non-OEM roundel on my BMW just doesn't sound right. That roundel is, after all, the very essence of our cars, isn't it??

How about this one, it brand new and made from aluminum.

My original was starting to peel a little, and I had plans to replace it soon, then I think someone decided to steal/peel it off leaving me just the plain silver badge that's underneath.

I bought a new one from the stealer and to remove the old one I just pushed it out from the backside under the hood.

I thought the "Driving Experience" was the essence of our car. The roundel is just the gold chain wearing crowd that buys a BMW as a piece of accessory.

I stand corrected.

If you don't want to scratch your paint from a flying roundel as in this video, just cut the center out with a dremel and pry from the inside.

Anyone have the part numbers for the front roundel and the grommets?

Thanks!
