what are you guys talking about ?

[teedub21]

Just messin with ya. The first reply, dental floss and hairdryer or heat gun. Use the dental floss to cut the adhesive between the body panel and the emblem. Heat source to remove stickum.

[dingjohnny]

you will also have to use some type of solvent such as alcohol or wax&grease remover to take off adhesive residue. you also may want to buff or compound the remaining outline.

is this a ltw mod? or are you replacing it with the m5 badge?

THATS ONE NICE A** RIDE . Love the color

1. Warm it a bit w/ a hair dryer.
2. Catch a piece of dental floss under the edge and use it to "saw" through the adhesive.
3. Use the heel of your hand to roll off as much of the remaining adhesive as you can.
4. Use WD40 to remove the remaining adhesive.
5. Buff and wax the surface.
6. Enjoy the "Clean" look.

i don't want to spend money on it , i do have dental floss lol everyone does unless your from England. Alcohol seems get the adhesive off so can i use that ?

And another question is how can i make my rims look cleaner , like they have these permanent dots which cant be removed. I even tried a steam cleaner but that just gets the grease off.

[killakam89]

haven't been on here in a while, but for your rims, try the mr. clean magic dry eraser. if that doesn't get it out, try a finishing compound or a bug/tar remover, if that doesn't work then I don't know what to tell ya bud..

Do the dental floss/adhesive remover on the badge. You'll want to clean the area and wax it afterward...at least I did on mine.

As for the wheels you could try claying them.

Fishing line also works. Floss wouldn't have cut it on what I had to remove(marine emblem) but for the BMW emblem, it will suffice.

Dynamite?

Shotgun might help also

[chiefwej]

Wait until someone is tailgating you on the road, then slam on your brakes. Tell the body shop not to put the emblem back on, when they repair the damage.

[keefy6]

i like mine, to each...

The easiest way to remove the badge is by urinating on it. and then without using gloves, peel the badge away. After, you rub poop on the rest of the adhesive to remove it. Works great!

In my quest for something hilariously witty, this crossed my mind.
Diet coke works well too, among other things.. Such as chuck norris's tears and the hopes and dreams of orphans.

Check This Out:

" A neighbour bought a new pickup, and got up very early one Sunday morning to find that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of his beige truck (for some unknown reason). He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do, probably nothing until Monday morning since nothing was open. Another neighbour came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck.
We all were impressed. WD-40, who knew?

Water Displacement #40: The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.

The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts. Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you. One of the employees took some home and found many uses for it. He gave some to friends who were clamoring for it. It was the first consumer product to be sold in spray cans.

When you read the 'shower door' part, try it.
It is the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as on glass. It is a miracle!
Then try it on your stove top. Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

19) Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!

20) WD40 gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.

39) WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. It is a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though that using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing is not permitted in some states.

40) Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.

41) WD-4 0 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.

42) Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry; saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!

43) If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.

It takes the burned feeling away and heals with
NO scarring. "
