m3 sticker on side markers

2000gsr · 06-30-2011, 12:14 PM

I purchased the matte black side markers over a year ago and the "m3" sticker that came with it is now faded and ugly, can this sticker be purchased separately anywhere?

Vendors stopped selling them because BMW came down on them. I may be able to get you a set.

If they are the same ones that are on the wheels, you can still buy them. A friend just bought some from a site a couple of weeks ago. I'll have to check to see what site it was and report back.

Same prob here on my M3 and my dads after 1 year. Both monochrome and M colors do the same. These are not the same as the wheels and from what I know not available on ebay or anything.

I spoke with IND who we bought them from. They said they all come from the same supplier and that it is a known problem. They also said that you can not get them separately. I was told to buy another set of side grills...

For me its not an option, so I am just going to let it go till someone offers them by them selfs...

Anyone who has the ability to make these puffy stickers(forget the real name), PLEASE MAKE THEM. There are a ton of people who want them. You could offer all sorts of different options as well. Like M color, German flag, monocrome...

Here's where my friend got his. He had some come off his wheels and these fit perfectly.

They're talking about the sticker on the side gills, they aren't the same.
