BUMPED TOPIC: M badges replacement Group Buy

Post by Attilio » Wed Apr 01, 2020 8:24 pm

Hello fellow Z4 owners!

Hope you are all well

I thought of resurrecting this topic following an email from the vendor of the Z4M badge replicas that had helped us well over a year ago (or two?)

anyway, she sent me an email to check if there was interest in more of these... you will be able to check photos, specs and options in the thread below

Let me know if there is an interest, I will be happy to facilitate an intro/orders etc. - I am not affiliated in any ways with the business in question and doing it only to help Z4 owners and the person making the badges connect.

===============================================
Hello there,

The sample badges have finally arrived: delivered to my door earlier today...

I received 2 full set: one chrome (like the OEM) and one black. I personally think they look very good and if the price is close enough to the original estimate (below) I will definitely go ahead and get myself 2 sets (of the chrome ones since my Z4 is Interlagos blue / prefer the OEM look). I took a few pictures, including some on the car close to the original (and faded) ones; see below:

Let me know you think and, most importantly, if you are still interested - I have 29 people who expressed initial interest and when we have firm numbers we will organize the order.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Attilio

Hello all,

I thought it would make sense to start a new thread to "firm up" the list of people interested and progress towards an order once the list is consolidated.

As a little reminder, following a few messages about faded M badges and the search for a business who would print the M sport tricolour, I came across an eBay seller who offered to source full sets. Below the original email:

Hi Attilio, yes I can do those sizes in sets (2x 72mm + 1x 85mm), available in both silver chrome and matt black (same price). For 1-10 sets I can do £15/set, after that I can do £12.50/set. All prices include UK shipping. If it is a BMW club I can also throw in some goodies as free samples :) I will have to order these from the factory and given the current situation, I estimate delivery in around 2 weeks. Please let me know thanks! Emma


I would greatly appreciate if you could express/renew your interest in the poll included; once we have a consolidate list with numbers we can progress with the order. A PM would also be appreciated so I can keep track more easily.

Thanks!
Attilio

P.S. Just to be clear: I have no affiliation with the business in question, just trying to help and interested myself since the badges on my Z4M Coupe are a bit faded.

Count me in.

I still think that at least one set needs to be bought and seen before a group buy to ensure they are ok 👍🏻

How does the quality compare to original BMW badges?
