Any ideas how much a BMW bonnet Badge will cost and how easy are they to replace?

If you look on Ebay there are plentyfull supplies of BMW badges and as far as I know most of them (barring boot badges on the E28s & some of the new ones) are the same!

They're a piece of piss cake to fit too, just clean the area where the old badge used to be, then place the two pegs of the new badge into the exsisting holes, push gently and then tap all the way around the badge to secure!!!

Thanks for the infor, there are a few new ones on ebay. Any advice on how to take the old one off without damaging the paint work. I had a stone that flew up and luckily hit the badge only and missed the paint work and screen. Thanks.

Yeah no problem

lay a cloth around the exsisting badge so that nothing makes contact with the paint work, find a very thin flat edge screwdriver, tuck the cloth towards the edge of the roundell, and gently pry around the edges. It will beging to lift around half way, then just gently coax the screwdriver under the badge and push up until it either comes off, or lifts enough for you to get finger tips underneath!!!

Ive just had to do this myself
