You mean the front and rear badges? Yes I have.

I originally order a full set of aftermarket badge (front, rear, and four wheel caps) which just costs around £20 but is still somewhere around the world at sea. Since I hit the poor bird, I simply let the local dealer fit the genuine badges and enjoy the look earlier. Once those aftermarket badge arrives, I will replace the wheel caps as well.

Two spare undamaged badges may have meant a sale

The 50 year anniversary badges , are they self adhesive, or do they have 2 plastic prongs on the back.?
Also how easy are they OEM badges to remove.?
I realise the wheel centres are easy to fit, its just the bonnet and boot badges ...

Not too easy if you haven't tried this before. When the dealer's bodyshop did mine, they even scratched the paint around the badge. I have to re-do the 2 stage polish then redo the ceramic coating to the top part of the front bumper where the badge sits. Also, by checking the dashcam footage, it seems they were struggling to get the front off due to the 2 plastic prongs on the back and they had to unscrew the bolts holding the top of the bumper and push it out from behind.

There are quite a few you tube videos of how best to remove them TBH.q96169we wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2023 11:08 am Not too easy if you haven't tried this before.

I found the best way is to mask around the badge, then using an old credit card or thin piece of rigid plastic slowly lever the edges all the way round. Once the self adhesive tape starts to 'give' I got a very thin screwdriver in and levered them off. I put masking tape around the screwdriver too just in case.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Are these just for the round badges or also the M stripes on boot & sides?

eBay is your friend in these situations.

Mine's in the paint shop now. I've owned it since new in '06 so it's getting a bit of tlc which is why I got original BMW badges for around £40 each. If I'd known about these I might have got them....wonder if Warwick BMW do sale or return??
