Ur better off just buying them off of bimman.com $25 will get you the whole set, because if u plan on painting them, you will have to. Either take them off to paint or tape up the areas. Its gonna be a pain. Go with new emblems nd your down in 30mins

I used a few layers of SEM plastic flex paint and a light sandpaper to scuff it up. The hardest part is getting the double sided tape on.
Make sure you color the sides of the tape black!! I used a sharpie pen to fill in the white on the sides. Otherwise you have black emblem and a white layer of 3m tape in between.

Buy them for $20 off www.bimmian.com. That's what I did. At least that way you have the OEM look to go back to if you need to.
