After coming round from the shock of finding out how much BMW OEM ‘M’ badges are for the sides and boot of the Z (£46 each of you’re interested), I went on the ‘Bay and ordered two 73mm - for the sides - and one 82mm - for the boot lid. Arrived today, and they are really nicely made, and at least 20% of the price of the OEM ones!!
Thought it worth a share you’re welcome.

So these have all arrived now, and I’m really happy with them. They come with pre-fixed and cut to shape foam tape for ease of attachment. I have the car booked in for a big detail in a couple of weeks, where they’ll be swapping them over... so I’ll grab some before and after pics for anyone who’s interested

Quite like the old school enamel look. I was given these to try out, a slightly different take on the same thing, but not sure I’m a fan -

tomscott, yeah, so you’ve got ~73mm for the wings, and 82mm for the bootlid. Covers on the car right now, but I’ll take some side by side shots at the weekend

Yeah they are "prototype" 3D badges from a place that used to sell replacements for the normal stickers. I'd remove the originals beforehand, though - a bit of a messy job. Replacing the whole badge, as you are doing, is probably more straightforward.

Nice! I realise these are not quite “right” as they have chrome between the colours, but they have a genuinely good quality look and feel. And I think to the untrained eye, they are so much more worth it than the £46 each for the genuine ones

To be fair, I agree... they’ve got a high quality look, but also slightly retro. I won’t be buying any more badges or M’s for the car though don’t like to see them plastered in them
