Really? How annoying do you have to be. You can pick one up for 20 bucks. New one + black stickers + grommets ordered from BavAuto, 50 bucks. Thought about paying for the overnight shipping but for 50 bucks more, I'll be patient!

They blow off when they get old, replaced 2 in the last two years on 2 different 3s. Tip for changing it out if you cant get the dealer to do it for free. slide a piece of nylon banding strap under the old one and lift straight up. BMW OEM is only $35 with BMWCCA discount.

You're taking it much better than I would. Furious and irrational comes to mind. I wish for speedy shipment of the new emblem for you buddy.

Just happened to me as well, maybe it did blow off but I still think stolen. Dealer did mine for free. Still pissed me off though.

Mine blew off about 1.5 years ago....but the silver part and grommets were still there (Just the emblem sticker part). It was a poorly made emblem from Khoalty (not that they made it).

I will only buy Genuine emblems now fwiw.
