I used an old credit card, worked perfectly. You might need new emblem grommets though. __________________ 1997 318ti 5-speed Moreagrün 1996 318ti auto Hellrot (retired) | | | 10-17-2012, 06:19 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 | Yep just held on by rubber grommets. I use a 4" bakers spreading knife to get them off. Pop right off.

I fed it right up the middle (6 o'clock to 12 o'clock) then wiggled it out of the grommets. Worked like a charm. __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 11-16-2012, 02:20 PM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2012 Location: Kentucky Posts: 15 | same for the hood emblem? are the sizes different btw e30, e36...ect? | | | 11-16-2012, 03:34 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Miami, FL Posts: 874 | Same as the hood emblem __________________ Mods: 325is zender spoiler, 3" carbon fiber antenna, 5% tints rear windows, black out grills, Fogged air intake, Ds1 wheels, Rokkor coilovers, bilstein rear shocks, blacked out tails and home made angel eyes | | | 11-16-2012, 03:40 PM | #7 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2012 Location: Kentucky Posts: 15 | ty | | | 11-16-2012, 06:07 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: South Central, MN Posts: 1,065 | I took a chainsaw and just cut around it, then used some Elmers glue and scotch tape to put it back together with a new one. __________________ | | | 11-16-2012, 07:01 PM | #9 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2012 Location: Kentucky Posts: 15 | haha | | | 11-16-2012, 08:34 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | I mounted mu GoPro on the Roundel.
