Here's a simple step-by-step guide to replacing the rear BMW badge on your E30. For this job you will need:

Item Part Number Estimated Cost
BMW roundel 51 14 1 872 969 £20
Grommet x2 51 14 1 902 279 £4
Flat-head screwdriver - -
Piece of cloth - -


This is a relatively common problem with rear roundels. They bubble and break.

Stage One


Using a small flathead screwdriver, very gently pry your old badge off. Use a cloth or other cushion, so that you don't chip or break the paintwork. Work your way around the badge until it pops off.

Stage Two


Push the old gromits out of the boot lid. Ready yourself with some new ones.

Grommets


Take the opportunity to clean the recess, and push the new grommets through.

Ready for new badge


Push the new badge firmly and evenly into the grommets.

New roundel


Done!
