I took off the "550i" badge a while back to give it a clean look, but since then I've decided to paint them matte black. I would appreciate if someone could take measurements and provide the exact location (i.e. where each digit goes and how far top/bottom of trunk and from edge, in millimeters) of where the badge should go. Thanks!

i cannot support your decision to put the badges back on, therefore i cannot help.

Looks like it's 17mm on an E61 but 18mm on an E60. I like the adhesive tape technique illustrated in the instructions I posted above. I think that's the safest way to rebadge the car while keeping everything as accurate as possible...
