Steering wheel roundel part #?

So... BMW 36-13-1-181-082 is the correct size of the steering wheel roundel, but not same finish. It's a bit more metallic, and not the glossy depth

Does anyone know the correct part number for the right finish?

And how many BHP are increased with every M sticker added to the vehicle?

Aerodynamic drag of increased badges exceeds any power increase….

So stick them all along the dash and you'll be fine.

I was thinking I could line the trunk interior with 300 M's, but from B21's shared experience, I'd probably have to update the suspension and engine mounts to handle the excess 300bhp. I'm not prepared for that....

I did find an Etsy vendor with steering roundels that may be promising.. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1334123391 If it isn't, the cost isn't horrible and I'll just stick it to my Toyota Highlander to raise it's appeal.

What happened to you stock roundel ?

Looks like the same coca-nailed fiend thought it was a button and its now a bit concave. the edges of the emblem also have that cracking look. So... a cheap replace that looks OEM or I'll stick with the suboptimal.

I’m pretty sure Oh-high-oh is the epicentre of the American opioid crisis. Just keeping it real.

She was sold in San Fran, and lived in San Jose, and Mountainview according to Carfax.

Now you just need matching wheel caps!

The style matches well with your carbonated trim! I do like that steering wheel.
