Is there anyway of lining up the new emblem if the OEM ones are already off the car?

There's definitely a BMW spec for emblem placement on all their vehicles down to the mm from different reference points. I have it for the E46 M3 but can't remember where it came from. Check real OEM and look up the rear tailgate diagram.

Took a peak around but couldn't quite find it! It seems like it would be on there just was maybe looking around in the wrong spot.

Great job! Not gonna lie I did cop the emblem from ebay and just like you said...it was an E70 which looks horrible on a F15. I just went ahead and got the proper F15 from IND. Cant wait for it to get here.

Also in case you are wondering if its worth it to get the IND Painted Emblem for $100 or an eBay knockoff for $15 (which wont properly fit the F15) here is a comparison, I am sure you can tell which is which.........
