The cheap ones are just stickers that fall off.

Go to realoem, get the part number, and use that to search for a genuine item.

Why not check for the correct part/parts yourself first, then go into the dealer armed with the correct part nbr and outside vendor pricing...you may be able to work a better deal if they charge more for the emblem.

And do you need just the rear emblem (#3 in the diagram)...or do you have a Chrome or Titan base option (#4 in the diagram)...and they stole that, too? Also remember you may need new grommets if they stayed with on the nibs of the stolen emblem.

Click link to go directly to part nbr index: RealOEM.com * BMW E53 X5 4.4i Emblems / letterings

David X was spot on with his answer. The grommets are #2 in the diagram and are the little rubber "feet" that holds the emblem to the hood and trunk.

If the old ones are still stuck down in the holes...you may want to still get new ones because reusing the old ones is kinda like reusing a condom...they will be stretched and not perform their job as well as the first time.

And just like a condom...you may need to lubricate them to get them on the small nibs of the emblem...as well as into the holes in your tailgate or hood.

I bought a front from my dealer but only after checking on the price on-line. THey started at 2x the online price but in the end matched. So, I always check on line first now.

bavauto
bavauto if i am not mistaken carries all emblems from recollection for between $5-$20 approximately. If not currently they were a former site sponsor. You could also hit one of the ads on this site that is a sponsor and give them a shot.
