So I'm about to replace my old roundels with new ones, and I thought I'd replace my early 750iL "straight" badge with the later "italic" version.
From this style:

But what I can't find are the exact measurements needed to place the new badge in the factory position... there's nothing that sticks out more to me on a BMW than a model badge in the wrong spot.
The online TIS's I've looked at don't have the info for the E32, like other models...
(Example for E38: http://workshop-manuals.com/bmw/7_series_e38/750il_m73_sal/2_repair_instructions/51__body_equipment_(sal)/14__bmw_emblems_model_emblems/1_ra__removing_and_installing___replacing_rear_mod el_emblem/)
2 Repair Instructions -> 51 Body -> 14 Emblems doesn't seem to exist for the E32.
Anyone have the measurements?
If not, I can always take that high resolution image and sort it out, but I'd rather not. Ah well.

I've confirmed that the non-online version of TIS doesn't have it either.
Guess I'll figure it out based on the picture of the BMW Classic car.
