As far as I know, all hood and trunk roundels are the same for all series except the 5 series. Removing the roundels are pretty simple. I used a advertisement fridge magnet, and slipped it behind the roundel. Then used a flathead to even lift up each one of the side. Some people damage the grommets when removing them. I personally didn't have any problems with it.

just used your method a few min ago for my carbon fibor ones. but except using a flathead i used a durable butter knife. bc when i started to use the flathead i could get through to work out the sides w.o denting/chiping. but the magnent is a really good tool.
