hood amblem
 

I need to replace my hood emblem as it is peeling. Any suggestion/trick to remove the current one?

It is held in place by friction clips. Place a rag on the hood so you do not scratch the paint, and with a butter knife or other dull blade gently slide under and pry up the emblem, first one side, then the other, little by little. Good luck

Thanks:thumbup:

all i did was open the hood and push the 2 pins holding the
current one in place using my key.

My dealer took one of those packaging bands and slid it under the emblem. He held onto both ends and pulled it right off.

Just did mine today, i used a punch out pin it's a steel pin w\ point on one end and flat on the other,and just used easy taps with a hammer on both pins of emblem and out it came piece of cake.:thumbup:

We have tools specifically for this job:

Mine is peeling too. Looks like crap. What's a new one gonna set me back? Nothing is cheap when it comes to this vehicle!

Mine costed me $12 bucks on ebay,check them out.

$25-$32 OEM

VD_COOL on ebay is one poo seller for emblems. Trunk is alright. Hood emblem is beyond belief.

All i have to say is... spend the extra buck, its worth it. Just use the overlays on OEM emblems 10yrs > 1yr/less. IMO when i went black i never wana go back. Blue looks alien on a X5 to me now.

What a bargain! Something that's not going to cost me 4 figures to fix!! Thanks!

i replaced one for the hood. any instruction for the trunk BMW emblem?

Same thing, just pry it out.

tried and was afraid of the attached silver thing might pry out together. no?

You won't remove the chrome ring - you just need to use a dull knife or thin flathead screwdriver to pry the emblem out of the chrome ring. If you are worried about scratching the chrome, put a thin rag between it and whatever you are using to pry it out.

ok thanks! and also, what kind of angel eyes are those including the bulb?

i currently have DEPO with yellow angel eyes and trying to improve the Angel Eye color to Bright White.

Where can you get emblems in Toronto? The Canadian websites don't seem to carry, and one even shows a Chevy Tahoo emblem when you put in al the info for your bmer, so it didn't inspire much confidence, lol.

I got mine on ebay about 2 months ago. between 20-30

Ahhh you beat me to it, this is my personal favourite trick! i thought only i knew about it

Just scored one on eBay. Here's a great vid for getting the old one off, if you're like me and just have to do it 'right.'
