Which CF Roundels to Get?

ryan.ferguson · 05-12-2011, 08:04 PM

I have a montego blue 08' 135i coupe with shadowline trim, gloss black bmw performance grille, gloss black "135i" lettering, and tint. I was wondering which carbon fiber roundels to get for my hood/trunk/steering wheel/rims, the blue and silver or the black and silver ones. Also, does anyone have pictures of their bmw in montego blue with either on? Much appreciate, thanks!

The carbon fiber roundels (complete roundel, not a stick-on overlay) are far superior to the stick-ons, which tend to peel (particularly the ones on the wheel center caps). Solid color stick-ons are ok if you install them right, but those overlays with the foil on them are worthless. I replaced all my roundels with the CF ones - got them on eBay, but they're available from several sources.

Rear roundels for the 1er unfortunately don't exist.

Our trunk has an odd shape and the roundel is only used on the 1 series. So no company has invested the capital as they see it as a poor return on investment
