Badge Removal
I want to replace the badges on the front wings of my 35is as the SDrive part has corroded. Replacements purchased from BMW, however, the original badges seem well and truly stuck on. Please does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove these without causing any damage to the paintwork.

Warm with a hairdryer, then use dental floss to 'saw' through the foam backing.
Why is it that people who can't take advice always insist on giving it?

Hope its ok to tag onto this - same/similar topic.
Thinking of doing the same and renewing badges;
but also the BMW emblems on the side and front bumper.
Anyone done this and got Part Numbers required?
I think it may be BMW 51147044207; on front for sure but wanted to check esp on sides.
Thanks in advance.
