They look really smart, I’m undecided on chrome or black though. Has anyone got photos of black badges fitted to there car? My car is silver so black may look good.
What ever I decide I’ll still have a set.

The M looks a different shape to the original and the badges look slightly larger.

That’s what I thought. Don’t want to in any way diminish appreciation for the job being done for fellow forum members, but isn’t the “M” a bit fat? Like they’ve traced the outside of a stencil instead of the inside.

Some eagle-eyed members here :)

I think so too: noticed it myself after a while, not straight away though... I will mention that to the seller to see if they can get the manufacturer to adjust it.

They look very good in my opinion and frankly it is not going to stop me from getting myself 1 set of chrome and 1 set of black ones
(to accompany the black front grilles etc. :wink: ). I don't mind round(er) hips :wink:

I will consolidate the "shopping list" over the weekend with names, preferences and quantities and discuss with the seller: it may make sense to order individually as it makes it easy for payments and shipping (a few of us live outside the UK) and I am not the seller either :)

Have a great weekend and chat soon!

Well done Attilio

Badges look very good!

I found a local company to just replace the decals with high quality laminated paper. Decided this was best way to go for me as badges are still good condition and trying to keep everything as original as the day it was made :thumbsup:

@Attilio.

Hi and Thank you for your great effort Attilio. Sorry, but they must look the same as stock if I should buy.

I hope they will in final release. :thumbsup:

Hello there!

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

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

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
