I want to replace the roundals with black and white ones that I have had since before I got the car. I know that alot of people dont like that look, but for me it looks great on a black car. 
Does anyone know any other way to remove them besides using a screwdriver, Im afraid I will slip and scratch the car?

Just park your car in south LA. In 5 minutes your badge will be taken off. In 10 minutes your whole car will be drive off. 
You poking fun of my neighborhood?

Well, unless you have another similarly shaped prying device, I think the screwdriver is about your only shot at getting those things off. I'd obviously recommend placing something between the screwdriver and the hood before you just start prying away, but there really is no other way to do it. I'd probably put a cloth down, then cardboard over the cloth, then attempt prying it off with a screwdriver. Be sure not to destroy the grommets unless you have replacements with your new roundels, I'm pretty sure you need those for sealing purposes. Good luck, I think the black and white roundels would look good on a black car, post some pics when you get them on there. You may also try calling your dealer, they might do it for you, but if they're anything like BMW of Bellevue they'll charge you for an hour minimum.

It's not that I don't like black and white roundels, but if I ever feel the need to change a BMW logo on my car, it's clearly time to look for another brand.
As you can see in my sig. I am a very proud BMW owner, I dont think because I am changing the blue to black means I should look for another brand!!! Below is what I have:
