The grommets should be the same I think. The ones I ordered from ecs don't differentiate between hood and trunk varieties. Here's what they got: http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E46-330...mblem/Grommet/

My trunk grommets look like these

and hood ones look like these

Just realized though that on ECS website they both have the same Mfr#.
Not sure what the deal is, but the trunk emblem posts definitely have a smaller diameter than the hood emblem posts. I would think the grommets would have to be different.

Just got the white grommets from ecs, confirming they do not fit the trunk emblem (they're too big). They're very tight on the hood emblem.
When I search ecs for 51148209932, I get 2 results but says "Parts listed below do not contain any applications that match your vehicle." I searched Bav Auto and found them with a note at the top of the page " Showing products for 2004 330i. Please note: for trunk emblem". Looks like we've just got the wrong grommets. Ecs doesn't consider those to be the ones for our car, hence they never showed in a search for emblem on a 330. Seeing as the ones that do show fit the hood fine and not the trunk at all, I think it's safe to say that they are in fact different and 51148209932 is right for the trunk.
