    Hood Emblem Fit (2013 135i)

    Had to get my hood replaced because my car got vandalized when parked on city street. After I got the car back from the body shop I noticed that the hood emblem wasn't fitting tight as it did on my original hood. When I push down on it, you can feel that there's space below and you can physically push the emblem inward just by pressing on it, when letting go, it pops back up very slightly. Doesn't seem like a right fit... at all.

    Took it to the dealer today and they confirmed its not suppose to be like this. So I asked them to replace it with a new emblem, thinking the body shop got some cheap aftermarket emblem and not OEM.
    Dealer put an OEM emblem on and they're telling me the same thing is happening.

    My question is, do you think its the hood itself? E.g. i got a bad replacement hood from the body shop? Or is my dealer missing something, e.g. wrong emblem for my model year? Body shop is claiming they got me a OEM hood.

    Any help is much appreciated, it's really bothering me and I just want "my car" back to the way it was before. Thanks in advance.
