Trunk badge placement?

[MrK]

I've searched far and wide, on this site and others, and on Google, and I just CAN'T seem to find a reference for the "325" and "i" placement on the trunk-- Distances from the edge of the trunklid and from each other. I remember seeing a neat little diagram that shows this, but I forget where.... Help?

Care to share the link for trunk badge placement?

[MrK]

I have the actual gif scan of that page of the shop manual, but it's not on this laptop at work... So I'll try to put it in the gallery in a couple hours when I get off work. In the meantime, I've memorized a few key distances for the 325i (hope you have a mm ruler):

From the end of the '5' to the edge of the trunk on the side: 62mm
From the bottom of the trunk up to the letters: 19mm
From the '5' to the 'i': 18mm

NOTE: Measurements for other models (i.e. 318i, 318is, 325e, 325is) are different! The above only applies to the 325i

I know its an old thread. I should have used this when I painted my trunk badges. DAMMIT.

What do you guys use to stick your badges on?

[nando]

they come with their own backing material..

Yes, but isn't it possible to reuse an old one?
I've taken mine off because the P.O. put it in the wrong spot and it looked pretty bad.

[nando]

new ones can't cost more than $20. but no, you can't reuse the old one unless you glue it on with something else.

I re-glued mine on after repainting my car. Used 3M trim and badge adhesive and it worked great. about 5 bucks at autozone.

i just eye balled mine and used 3m tape. looks and sticks really well.
