Let's see how to remove and reinstall the metal emblem of a BMW 3 Series car (front hood). Lift the front hood (if screws are present), use a plastic pry tool (detach the piece with the tool) to remove the emblem (as shown in the video).

Once the metal emblem is detached, take it out of its housing and prepare to install the new emblem: position the emblem perfectly in the emblem holder, push with your hands until the emblem fits securely into the holder (tighten with appropriate metal screws at the bottom).

Finally, check if everything is installed perfectly.
