I pulled part of the hood insulation & there's a circular hole under it but there's another layer of metal so you can't access the bottom of the emblem.

Those suckers are stuck there pretty damn good. There are two rubber grommets that are stuck into the sheet metal that receive the two plastic prongs of the emblem. Age makes them hard, etc...so pulling the emblem is a bitch. Some have said use a butter knife...I don't see how one could possibly slip dental floss underneath. I would lay down something tough like duct tape or multiple layers of painters tape right up to the edge of the roundel. Then wedge something sharp that will grab the lip of the plastic and lever it out.

You don't access it from the underside, you access it from the topside. Take a thin screwdriver, wrap it in a towel or something. Slide it under the roundel and pry it up. At least that's what I remember hearing, I haven't replaced mine yet. Need to, it's lookin pretty ratty. Andrej '97 M3

We're professionals; don't try this at home. Etc... (in reality I think water got under the emblem and then the water froze which made it pop off) Mel

3.25 ratio ought to use a 12 tooth pinion and 39 tooth ring, but that's just
an educated guess on my part.

Well, if it's anything close to the E34M5 engine, it's one more tooth than the
E36M3.

Sorry if I wasn't clear -- by ring gear I mean the starter ring gear
on the flywheel ...

Hi CHester.

It probably is the same as all the M5 engines ... but a difference of
one tooth? WTF? :)
