No, this is a new hood, out of our stock in the warehouse. The satin black paint is just a thin layer that is applied at the factory to prevent rust until the part is properly painted.
Is that a satin paint job?
buggybuilder99 - Yes, E30
E30 bonnet?
Perfect tutorial thank you!
You can’t access the underside of the pins on all models.
If there is still some of the emblem attached to the tops of the pins, grab the pieces with pliers and twist and pull them out. If it is just the pins, push the all the way through the grommets.
Much easier to push the old emblem and grommets out from the underside of the hood. Used the back of a set of vice pliers, which worked well. Not sure if all the models have two holes in the underside of the hood, but my 2004 x5 did. BTW, if you look at this video closely it looks like the emblem had already been loosened, and even so, he nicks the paint on both sides while removing the grommets.
Mine broke and it has the two pins stuck
We only sell BMW original hood emblems. These are not aftermarket. Yes, they do have issues even with these original BMW units. They do have a warranty. Just let us know.
I bought this kit last summer and the emblem didn’t even last the entire summer. The sun completely destroyed the clear plastic finish on the emblem! Junk, don’t buy.
Well … either wrong grommets or the emblem is manufactured incorrectly. We only offer genuine BMW roundel emblems, by the way.
Mitch, We have the grommets in-stock. just go to our online store at bavauto,com or call our Advisors at 800-535-2002.
The after-market roundel I bought on ebay won’t push entirely in so that is completely flush with the hood. It rocks slightly at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions. The grommets I got from the dealer. Do you know what the problem might be?
Where can I pick up some grommets for my e30? I recently bought new hood and trunk roundels but they did not come with grommets.
The new grommets are the same as the originals. We usually like to have new one on-hand, in case the originals are no longer tight enough to properly secure the new emblem.
Ive gotten new emblems both back and front on my E39, and the two pins where there, so I didnt use the ones that followed the packing, I guess nothing is different from the original ones than the ones following?
U lost me at the peeling off of the blue tint…just Kidding
We typically install new grommets so that they are nice and tight in securing the pins on the emblem. The old grommets may be usable, but may not be real tight.
Yes, just as shown in the video. In fact, the video was done with an E30 hood.
Yes, you do need to replace the complete emblem.
on a 2007 328…..the trunk emblem decal just flew off and i recently found it blowing around on my street…..the stainless disc is still intact on trunk…..can i purchase a new black and blue disc..your video shows every situation except mine?lol or do i have to purchase a whole new emblem?
The e30 badges are with pins , right 🙂 ?
are those grommets useless after removing original roundel?
is that why you have new ones? or are you using the new ones because it came with the roundel?
There is a possibility for you to damage the hood. This is why you do need to be careful. Protect the working area with a rag,or you could also apply a couple layers of painter’s tape around the working area … just in case you slip wit the tool.
would it dammage the hood? that is my #1 priority
My 2008 328 doesnt have the grommets… Just a very sticky adhesive material.
