greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 Hey guys, Want to replace the bonnet emblem on the E39, got the emblem, was going to do it then I read Here that you need 2 new rubber gromets. Now, do you really need new gromets or can you use the old ones? Cheers guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmw.maniac 1 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 I used the old ones. It doesn't really matter, unless they're really brittle and crumbly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuen 16 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 Hey Nick, it depends on the condition of your old ones. When I bought my new emblem I also bought new grommets, however when I pulled the old emblem out the old ones were definitely still usable and would still have made for a snug fit.

greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks for the quick replies, will pull it off and see if the old ones are good enough. Otherwise will have to buy a couple from BMW. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yuen 16 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 how do you get to the boot one? as far as i kno its in a little gap i cant get my hand in You mean you can get the one on the bonnet out with your hand?? Here's how I get both front and rear out. Get a flathead screwdriver (wide but thin head that will fit in the gap between bonnet and emblem) and lever it out. If you like, put some tape (ie: electrical tape) around the flathead, and remember to use cloth to pad any part of the screwdriver that will come in contact with the bonnet or boot.

Yuen 16 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 Did you read my instructions above? Easy enough to take it off from the outside. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
