Replacing the Manufacturer Emblem and Logo Color

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Manufacturer emblem

If you want to replace the manufacturer emblem, follow these steps. Use a plastic tool to avoid damaging the bodywork. Place a cloth near the logo to be removed and leverage between the logo and the body to pry it out at multiple points until it comes free from its seat.
Using needle-nose pliers, gently remove the two plastic clips and install two new ones. At this point, simply position the emblem onto the two clips and push it down. To change the color of the emblem, you need the appropriate decals. Remove the backing of your preferred color and apply it to the emblem in the correct spot. At the end of the job, you can apply a protective film by simply removing the clear backing and applying it over the logo.
