BMW Emblem New Ideas

Alexjan23 · 07-19-2010, 05:59 PM

I have a tiAg e90 335i with black and white roundels right now.
deciding onto either getting silver sticker overlays to have black and silver emblems to match.
or should i go with the Carbon fiber BMW emblems??

Whatever floats your boat.

Personal preference really, I prefer without using the stickers as up close you can tell they are just an overlay...

My vote goes for Black/Silver CF full roundel replacements.

I'm not particularly a fan of alternative roundels...very very rarely do they work, and even in those cases I would prefer the blue/white/black

i personally like carbon fiber

Just got some carbon fiber replacement roundels for hood, trunk, wheels and steering wheel from JL Motoring through eBay, and they're really very good quality. After removing my original hood/trunk emblems, the part numbers on the back of the stock and aftermarket roundels are the same, and the trunk emblem even included the adhesive ring. I've done the stickers, and they tend to peel after awhile, especially when you wash the car at a self-service pressure-type car wash. I'd recommend you check out what JL puts out in both black/silver and blue/white (both carbon-fiber pattern).

blue and white will be the only color roundels ever on my bimmer

I have authentic CF replacements. Got them on Ebay (blasphemy, I know), but they fit perfect and look great, especially in the sun. Here's the only pic I have, but the flash shows how good the CF looks:

did you get them as a set or individually? how much did they cost you? and did you do a full replacement of the steering wheel emblem or overlay?
