What do you mean by messed up Roundel? An emblem shouldnt even begin to tarnish on a 40k car. Maybe on an E30 or something.

The ones I have seen are all silver, like the color parts have came off. It happen when I had my 328is once. A rock hit the roundel and it clear coat started to peel off.

I had to replace my roundel after about 7 years, but then the car was only worth about 10,000 and at around $25 it was a lot for a little cosmetic work. (I still got one, duh)

Happened to mine too. A few small rock chips and the roundel flakes away. I figured OEM roundels are $15 and carbon fiber roundels are $24. Small price to pay to keep those propellers looking new and clean.

I'd post a pic, but it is from my E30. My 04 saab has started to do this too - but only the rear - which gets a lot more afternoon sun than the front.

Its all about UV.

And the replacements seem to me to be far lower quality than the originals.
