I'm after one as well, but are there any non-OEM badges that peeps have bought that seem good value? Or... is that a no-no? I mean I'm happy to spend on original, but £35 or so for a badge is really steep.

I eventually gave up trying to find a reasonably priced front badge and got one from a dealer... was about £35 so the same as eBay! Not too sure there are any cheap options out there like there are for the more 'standard' sizes on other BMWs I'm afraid!

OK, OEM it is. What about the rear 82mm or the wheel centres? I need those as well.

I just got a set delivered today (Non OEM) as my 3 year old genuine ones have bubbled badly and have been doing so for the last year. Ones delivered today were £8.99 posted and look great. If they last a couple of seasons great. If not then not a lot of money anyway..I'd be
Gutted if I spent £40 for genuine and they started bubbling after a couple of years.

I had a full set of non OEM black and white badges on my old e46... Only lasted about year before falling apart, but i would think there's a wide variety of quality out there and some may be better than others!

But like Anmarube has said... for less than a tenner it's worth a punt on non OEM ones!

I knew you would ask for the link. Truth is I haven't a clue how to do that. :oops: Got them through EBay so I will go back to my purchase and find the seller and post it up for you if that's any help.
Bear with me a while :rofl:
