My bmw badge on my boot lid has lost a bit of silver on one of the letters - my ocd has set in and I'd like to replace it - does the badge just pry out ( carefully ! ) from the outside or do you have to push it out from the inside ? Are the badges advertised on ebay any good or is it best to get a genuine bmw badge?

Rear is just a stick on jobby I think. or maybe it's push pins.
either way not hard to replace

That looks very good.... surprisingly didnt think it would!
The back is held in by push pins..... mine was a ba$tard to remove, both the pins broke when i pulled it off, so i had to drill them out of the socket before i could fit my carbon fibre one
No the rears don't stick on or push out from the inside. The boot is a twin skin with no access from the inside.
It's fitted on two pegs (positioned at 9 & 3 o'clock) that are pushed really tight into nylon inserts.
Removal is by prising it out very carefully. I recommend a think scraper or trim removal tool with a cloth covering it. Take care not to scratch or dent the panel.

On the coupe there is access as the badge is the boot handle which can be removed as a unit. The badge is glued to the front and has two pins at 3 and 9 o'clock. Mine popped off easily and replaced with eBay one of right size that had no pins so not as easy to position.

I replaced mine, I used a tie wrap pushed through the back of the badge and out the other end by the pins and wiggled, not me but the tie wrap 
hey presto!!

Never thought of that - great idea
I got mine out by the cj10jeeper method - not hard, just requires patience and care. Still marked the paint though :x , under the badge so you can't see it, fixed with some touch-up. Used some sticky pads for the new one just to be sure.
