Post by tomscott » Wed Jun 24, 2020 6:16 pm

Mine arrived today. Overall they look ok,

The M is different, the triangular sections don’t extend far enough makes the M look quite fat, and they are quite different sizes too.

I did mention in my other posts about the colour and the purple colour is more like a navy. The other colours are also dull compared to the actual M colours.

Whether you would notice from a distance. Probably not. For £15 can’t complain 👍🏻

Thanks Attilio for arranging, mine were delivered yesterday, a tiny bit smaller and I’m sure the colours will fade in time :D

Glad you received them. Yes, for that amount I think they are good enough 😊

For the money they look great. I think the colours are different because they are based on the latest official M colours rather than the period ones for the car. This is my replacement badge decal vs an F10 M5 and F32 4 series:

Hi MrPT,

yes, that's a very good point...not much can be done... where did you find the decal?

Hi there,

I was informed that the links for ordering the badges will "close" soon

bumping the post just in case some of you who were originally interested missed the post...

check the thread for the images etc.

I got many responses and I first want to thank you all for your kind words. I am really happy I can do something for the forum: I got so much support when choosing the car and also a lot of advice on parts, maintenance and parts.

Anyway, back to the badges: the vendor has set up links to purchase them via Paypal (this means the payment will be protected). If you don't have a Paypal account you will still be able to purchase using a credit card on the same link.

The vendor also added a keyring listing in case someone is interested:

Silver chrome M badge set -- https://py.pl/147hjh
Mat black M badge set -- https://py.pl/1T5erp
BMW logo keychain -- https://py.pl/3El5ESJ6xgB

The price of a set is GBP 15.00 and I understand the postage to the UK is GBP 2.99 (for other destinations please contact Emma (the vendor) at this email address [email protected], she is very responsive and I am sure happy to help

Don't forget to post pictures of your Z4 M with the new shiny badges!!!

All the best
Attilio

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
