Roundel sizes

[XAMI]

Have searched and searched on this forum and google and haven't found anything definitive.

On a 2008 135i Coupe, are the roundel sizes 82mm or 74mm?

Thanks!

Pretty sure it is 82mm front and 74mm rear but I will measure it tomorrow morning, I'm already in bed.

So, I measured the front and rear roundels I got 82mm for the front and 74mm for the rear, that's external diameter.

Perfect thank you so much, I ordered some B&W ones in those sizes and will confirm fitment when I receive them.

Finally got them in and switched out, those sizes are correct.
I cheaped out and bought them from:

Pics installed:

first 2 are of the front roundel, a great fit.

last 2 are of the rear roundel, looks good but it doesn't have that slight taper that the OEM has, so there is a slight gap.

If I have any trouble with these in the future, I'll put the stock roundels back on and just get the adhesive like:

Looks good! I like the black much more than the carbon fibre.. It's a shame about that rear roundel!

I agree, especially on a white car...

Yeah if the rear roundel starts to bother me, i'll put the original back in and just get the black-stickers to cover the blue...

I just received and installed a replacement roundel for the steering wheel. The old one was damaged, the new replacement was the sticker-type and just went right over the old one, it looks great! Only $1.80 from

(the one I received is flawless and much better looking than the ones on the aliexpress page pictures)
