Emblem/roundels all round

Just to add, it appears at least some of the BMW bikes also use a 70 mm badge as I'm getting that as the result when searching specifically for the size, and not the part number.

I have read that simply going by diameter can lead to issues as the curvature may be wrong, so tread carefully.

Well I've measured my E85 and E89 and they are 70mm. Which is what realoem says too, and that is what that number you've quoted says as well?
Confusin' innit?

Oh dear, Iā€™m not helping am I? You are right, the front bonnet badge is 70mm not 68mm.

I put a link in my post to the front roundel I bought on Amazon in 2019 that came from BMW Park Lane and fitted just right. :)

Great.. Another spanner in the works. But genuine ones are only a fiver so might be worth a try. They are curved as well. I've found some genuine 70 mm non curved ones too but I'm not sure what vehicle uses them.

Cheers for the link mate. Still more than 40 quid though. Seems I might have to bite the bullet here for the stupid front emblem...

If you can get good quality 70mm ones that fit right for a fiver each, buy a bunch of them! I'm pretty sure you'll have a ready market on the forum. :thumbsup:

I'll order one and check the fitment. Not sure I'd be running a side hustle on the forum but it might be worth adding the info somewhere on the forum for future reference.
Need to order one first. Save myself 30 odd quid if it does fit!

Fair enough, but if you give it the thumbs up then I'll be after a couple at least. :thumbsup:

Be careful that they are not 'stickers'

This is a worry of mine too! It says self adhesive badge. So maybe it's a middle ground between an actual badge and sticker but it's definitely not a sticker you'd stick on a laptop or anything. I know the official badges have adhesive backing too. The thing is the two pins but if if I can secure it without them then it might be worth a try for 1/3 of the price.

Try a guy on FB by the name of Peter Trew šŸ‘

Does all the badges

Interesting. I'll check it out. Have you got any more information for me to go off.
Simply searching his name is not going to be very fruitful I imagine.. Thanks!

I tried, found lots of Peter Trews, but not one obviously associated with BMW badges.
