Or you can put something like one of your wife's credit cards (well you don't want to damage your own now do you....) next to the badge on the bonnet as a safety layer and then very gently lift the edge of the roundel with a wide flat blade of some sort - being VERY careful not to scratch the paint (hence the credit card) - and gently prise it off.

I just replaced the Roundel on my E46 which I think is the same size as the one one the E53 (82mm).
Looks exactly the same as OEM but for only £3.99 inc delivery.
May not last as long but time will tell and very happy with my purchase.

thanks,
they have raised the price to £7 now incl delivery. can get for about £4 off fleabay anyways...
called the dealer its £29!! same as bmw direct on fleabay.
there's one oem on auction, a 5 day wait though..
anyways i've got bigger problems suddenly today - got all dressed for a 12.5 mile commute to work on my cycle and no blo0dy air!!; thought i'd change the tube and proceed, it now appears the tyre-wall has got sliced on something grrrhh!!!
