E86 BMW BADGE REMOVAL

[TOMGREEN413]

Just tried pulling of my BMW nose badge but nothing budging so was wondering if it's bolted on? I was thinking it might just have a couple of plastic pins pushing into a pair of grommets.......but now I'm not to sure?..............anyone?

I has nuts that bite and form a thread into the two plastic pins that go throug the bumper so you need to acess though the kidney grill and unscrew the nuts

Hi TOMGREEN413. Axelleveau is correct. This link may be of use

Just a heads up to recommend keeping the nuts if you are buying a new badge as my new OE badge didn't come with them!

 

[TOMGREEN413]

Brilliant, thanks for the link. Explains why the little sucker wouldn't budge!

Had to replace mine as well this weekend.
€56,- for a €2,- piece of plastic

I found this link prior, which saved me damaging my old badge.
