Raised letter hood roundel

Raised letter hood roundel TAKE 2
Now I am more confused than ever...
Walloth&Nesch shows that 51 14 5 480 181 is supposed to be used with a separate base (socket) and that 51 14 5 081 747 has an integrated socket (which is not what the diagram from RealOEM is suggesting)?????

ECS Tuning's picture of "747" seems to suggest it has an integrated base as well.

I ordered "747" and will update when I receive it.

That is correct. I posted that the original base (socket) 51 14 5 780 170 for the hood roundel was NLA.
The point I was trying to get across is that realOEM shows that "747" requires the socket but that does not seem to be the case. It seems that "181" (the one I bought from BavAuto) is actually the correct part if you have a base and need a new raised letter hood roundel. And that "747" has an integrated socket and is the one you need if you do not have a separate socket and want a new raised letter hood roundel.

Some pics of trunk and hood roundels and bases:

The picture provided by Stevehose of that "golden ring" between the trunk and base (looks like 51 14 5 780 171 on the RealOEM diagram) does not look to be a rubber gasket?

yup mine is the same.
Walloth&Nesch shows the chrome socket to be 54 14 5 780 171. And 54 14 5 780 172 looks like the one in the diagram. So is it correct to conclude that the rubber gasket sits between the trunk roundel and the socket (base) and NOT between the socket and the trunk itself?

It fits between base and trunk. I had one and couldn't get it to stretch enough to stay in place!

Heat with blow dryer first or place in hot water
Great post!
As in my previous post I remember there was a base part on the boot lid. I found that corroded part among all other parts in boxes from PO long time ago. Guess I unfortunately sorted this corroded part to the trash can in my early E9 years..
But still, I got the original raised flat boot lid emblem hanging on my garage wall together with
other pieces like original steering wheel and original engine undercover plate. Both symbolic and lack of storage space
What anyway do you guys hanging at your garage wall?

I did but base wouldn't hold tight enough to trunk to keep it there.
