X5 Hood Medallion
Just purchased a used 2003 X5 and recently noticed the hood medallion has lost it's coloring. This has just happened and I can see the embossings and outlines of where the colors used to be placed.

Has anyone else experienced degradation of the hood medallion??

i know the silver trim of the bmw roundel on my steering wheel is tarnished...

you can always purchase the aluminum covers and place over it. or pay a little more and get the genuine thing

Mine is fine...but on my summer car, a 9-3 convertible , I brang the car to the dealer, and when it came back the badge on the hood was gone
I guess the glue european car makers use isn't suited to our acid rain here..
