In this simple video tutorial, learn how to remove the hubcap from your BMW 3 Series in M trim. The operation is very delicate, and you must be careful not to damage the wheels and the logo itself.

The logo is snap-fit, so to remove it, take something sharp and pry at the sides to disengage it. Then, install the new one by positioning it and snapping it in place. For better retention, it is recommended to apply a light layer of sealant if you want to ensure it doesn't get lost, provided the replacement parts are compatible and fit perfectly.
