Installing BMW Emblems

You will need an old credit card, smallish hammer and a thin
screwdriver. First slide the credit card under the edge of the
emblem. Next slide the screwdriver between the credit card and
the emblem. This will keep the screwdriver from scratching your
paint. Now you need to pry upwards carefully. It is a good
idea to clean the area under the emblem, as it hasnt seen the light of
day for eons. I like to wax the area to protect it from the
elements. Next replace the grommets. Pry the old grommets
out. The new grommets install easiest with a LIGHT tap of a
smallish hammer to seat them. The emblem can now be pushed into the new
grommets. It is a good idea to only apply pressure with your
thumbs directly over the studs. If you press to hard on the
center it will distort. Z3s, X3s, X5s and a few other models have
the rear emblem glued on with doublestick tape and the two studs.
These take a little more effort to remove. You also want to
remove all the old tape residue to make sure the new emblem is level
and adheres well. If you have problems with your application of
your new emblems feel free to contact us via email or phone at
