Hi All.

Is there any trick to this?
New roundel sits on top of the recess but I can't push it in.
Grrrr. :x

Cheers.

Thanks Dave. Will do.

What is puzzling is the one I dug out has the same edge but BMW somehow got it into the recess.

What could I do but agree with Dave The German viz "file it a little" ... since BMW won't share its secret. LOL

All good now.
