I've changed all my badge's to the carbon fibre one's from a seller on ebay,message him to do you a special package deal on the Wheel one's,and bonnet and boot one's also,I even managed to remove the steering wheel one too,god know's how as I totally wrecked it and would reccomend you just fit it over your existing steering wheel badge but the replacment one look's the nut's,the quality of the badge's(all of them) is awesome,take a look at his ebay auction's here:-

You need the 68mm one's for the wheel's.

Message him for the E60 one's which are 82mm.I will post some pic's of them on my car as soon as possible.

I just got the front and rears from the Bay recently, very good quality in fact.......





Just be super carefull with that screwdriver approach, I used that technique and some protection and still managed to make a small mark in my paint, thankfully behind the badges.

Hey, man, there ain't no room for two sarcastic forum members here. Cut that out.

Good one. You got me.

OK, so the Bimmian stickers suck and I went ahead and ordered the CF Roundels from eBay. That said, has anyone figured out an easy, clean way of removing the hood and trunk emblems? Any little secrets?

Someone mentioned slippng a credit card under and using a cloth, followed by prying, but I'm nervous about the pins.

Hey Boner - How did you get yours off?
I pass by my dealership everyday...took it in and they changed it for me in 1 minute.
