Guys,
So I'm out driving today and I look down and notice my steering wheel emblem dented.... :fcuk: I've been reading through forums and I've done the research. What I've found is that its impossible to remove the emblem because its apart of the airbag. Is this true? Or is it on with tape? I've read that others recommend putting an existing emblem on top of the original one. How does this look? Can you actually tell that there is one under it? I don't want the fix to look like shit but I think it will annoy me to stare at it the way it looks now. Have any of you experienced this? I'd appreciate any feed back :help: |

I'd appreciate any feed back Knowing that situation is somewhat probable I wonder why BMW chose to use an emblem that can't be replaced easily - I totally understand making it "soft" since I wouldn't want a solid disc smacking me in the face if the airbag were deployed in an accident! |
I actually have two roundels over my original, and you can't tell a difference unless you're looking at the sides specifically.
I do recall someone actually getting the original off by knifing it, but honestly, just place it over it, it's no big deal. |

I was also wondering if a suction cup could pull the dent out. I can't believe BMW puts a roundel on the steering wheel thats vulnerable to getting dented and the only fix is purchasing a new air bag. $800 to replace the emblem is a joke. Not a chance

I was thinking the same thing with the suction cup thing :confused:
