Change BMW roundels?

[Matjo]

Is it possible to change the BMW emblems to carbon ones on the trunk and hamburger? If so, how do I take them off?

[nmulax]

the easiest way is to get sticker overlays.

[Matjo]

The reason why I want to change is that I have already tried out the overlays but no good experience...

[nmulax]

So did you already get replacement roundels, and just need to know how to take off the stock ones?
Or do you need to know where to buy the replacements?

[Matjo]

I need to know if its possible to change the existing ones, for example can you change the roundel in the hamburger or is it impossible to open it up? If its possible I'm going to buy the replacement, if its impossible - I will buy new stickers and hope they'll be better.

This should give you some idea of how it's attached.

There have been some hamburger delete threads that you could search for also.

yeah, you can just take the roundell off compleatly. Its on with 3m tape. then slap on the new rondell emblem (make sure its the same size) and then 3m it back together! its not too hard i dont think

3M on trunk aswell?

the trink is simply screwed on i think. No to sure, i know the front bumper is held on with 2 weird ass screws. Id imagine the rear is the same

where did you get the overlays? what didn't you like about them? I was looking to get some from http://www.bimmian.com/ROU/Z4
I'm looking to do the wheels, hamburgers, front, back and steering wheel, I thinks that's all of them.

back to your question:
the front one on the bumper is held in with 2 nuts from behind. Just remove one kidney grill and you can yet your hand back there with a nut driver.

The rear is pressed into rubber grommets. slowly pry from each side with 2 flat blade screwdrivers or similar tool while protecting the paint with rags.
