Does anyone know what I should use to stick my 530i badge back onto my car, the sticky stuff that was on there before isnt sticky anymore. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

you could buy some 3M double sided sticky tape and cut out the pieces.....or just get some new badges. They're around $20, I just applied my gloss black ones yesterday.

BetaLink...you can go to the BMW dealer and they will stock a betalink kit about $10. A little messy, but works great!

My Ride: MY06 530i Silver Grey (A08)
3M makes a grey double-sided tape that is thin, weatherproof, and very sticky. Ill look for the link and edit the post. I would not recommend the white stuff off the shelf.
::EDITED::
Here is the link to someone who sells it. I was only able to find the big roll with a quick search, but the product number is there. You can cut the stuff to the size you need, and it won't come off unless you want it to.

Yep. I just got mine in the mail from Bimmian.com. They were $20 + you can choose from chrome, gloss black, or matte black. I got the latter.
