HELP: Someone stole my M3 sidemarker Badge

Exclusivs · 11-08-2013, 02:52 PM

Came back to my car to see that someone swiped the "M3" badge off my passenger side side-marker. What someone would want to do with a mini m3 badge, you got me...Seems like this, and valve stem caps are a hot commodity

Do I need to buy a whole new sidemarker assembly? or can I buy just the badge portion?

Thanks in advance!

Just curious, anyone have link to OEM part or know where I can find the OEM part#

Contact the vendors on here. I got mine from IND

I too needed new ones and just picked them up from my local BMW dealer. I believe bavarian autosport has the part numbers listed on their website for both the right and left side badge

Maybe it fell off? If aftermarket, we have seen this happen.

That's what I'm thinking, too. Doesn't appear to be any glue residue on there. When I pulled mine off the OEM chrome gills, it left a heck of a lot of residue. My guess is the adhesive dried up and the decal flew/blew off.

I didn't know they were removable. Thanks for the heads up.

Agreed. Mine did too. I just bought new OEM ones for my black pieces. With those even in -25 degree weather they are holding up fine.

Revisiting for an update:

Ordered from Khoalty, I'd say about 75% satisfied. Quality appears OEM, but fitment is off. The adhesive they use on the back is thick, and raises the badge when compared to the OEM one (or w/e one comes on IND's sidemarkers).

Probably nothing anyone would ever notice, I'm just very picky.
