Black & white or CF emblems??

MN.BIMMER · 05-24-2019, 09:20 AM

Hello all,

As most do, I swapped out the hood and trunk badges this week with some cheap eBay badges and the rear ended up falling off a day later. Does anyone have a source for some quality black/white/cf badges? I know from reading the forums here that the e82 has a different style of badge, so I haven't been able to find any sources that verify fitment with the e82 rear end. Please let me know!

I didn't know that most people switch out the badges for aftermarket? I must not be one of the kool kids

I meant the roundels instead of badges, but I got it sorted out.

Interesting. I was looking into getting a custom steering wheel from them, may have to consider this now too.

I have their microforged carbon emblems. I added matte black vinyl to the middle section

I am considering going to carbon fibre roundels and wheel caps. These seem to be all over the place pricewise, but I was wondering if there is a concensus on who sells the best quality ones, and did they ever make one that fits the trunk properly? I prefer the part with the decal already installed but decals only might be ok. Understand the decal is the better way to go on the steering wheel rather than replacing the cap due to possible air bag damage.
