50th Anniversary badges

[Shiggybaby]

Has anyone tried putting the 50th anniversary badges on their E9X's yet?

My Brother from NYC...

Bimmer Plug 50th Anniversary Classic M Roundels are fake from China.

Here is the lengthy discussion in the BMW G8X M3/M4 Forum.

https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1927610

Order from IND, BMW Parts Pros, or Paddleshifterz in Germany. Expect a 1-2 week wait.

https://www.bmwpartspros.com/ Search the first few digits in the PNs. "51148087"
The remaining PNs are consecutive from 188-196, plus a 545 thrown in.

https://ind-distribution.com/search?...uct&q=50+years
We are hoping IND will offer custom painted roundels. All that white doesn't look great on all BMW exterior paint colors.

https://paddleshifterz.com/product-t...v=7516fd43adaa

The matching wheel center caps will only be released for 5 x 112mm bolt patterns (56mm) in newer BMWs. Our E9X M3 and most older BMWs use a 5 x 120mm bolt pattern (68mm). Check eBay for a vendor in Beverly Hills, CA...add the steering wheel emblem. Also no floating wheel center caps will be released.

BMW E9X M3 Fitment:
51148087192 or 194 - 82mm (HOOD)
2 Pins/No Adhesive

51148087195 or 196 - 74mm (TRUNK)
2 Pins/Adhesive

NOTE: Most E9X M3 roundels mount with 2 pins and don't use an adhesive. But 195/196 74mm Trunk Roundels only come with 2 pins and an adhesive.

Studie AG in Japan has some pix on older E/F-Platform BMWs.

I received the 50th Anniversary wheel center caps 5 x 120 mm (68 mm dia) from the seller on eBay and the quality is excellent. Plastic tabs are not too brittle and the emblem has a clear film (like a new cell phone) to protect the finish, before installation. I will see if they can put the matching steering wheel emblem up for sale individually.

You have a link?

[MPizza]

if your car doesn't have a production date of March 2022, why would you put these badges on it?

[tbuck]

Because racecar??

This, right fucking here.

It's like buying a non-m car and then rebadging to put on an M sticker. Stop, it's embarrassing.

Nothing wrong with not having an M car or not having a 50th anniversary car, let it go.

BMW doesn't sell M badge retrofit kits. They DO sell 50 Anni Badge retrofits.

But in this case I do have an M car, so what's wrong with embracing the history of M by putting the anniversary badges on? I don't see anything wrong with putting the badges on my E92 M3, and that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Thanks for making my Friday afternoon.

[Mpow-wow]

Yeah, only if you got a March 2022 M! Lol, also only buy OEM oil and rod bearings, and get all your parts from the BMW dealers. 😎

I need to get 36 year anniversary badges. 😂

The eBay seller from Beverly Hills, CA is selling 50th Anniversary Roundels made in China (says Italy on the parts), that are also on Amazon. A full set of hood/trunk roundels, a steering wheel emblem, and four 5 x 120mm center wheel caps for $30. On eBay they charge $100, so they pocket a $70 profit after sending you the Amazon product.

You can still buy the BMW OEM 50th Anniversary parts for the hood and trunk roundels.

For F-body ///M cars, the roundels for the hood use an adhesive instead of 2 pins. The eBay kit has 2 pins for the hood/trunk roundels.

The BMW OEM 196 trunk roundels are backordered preventing most USA orders from shipping. IND and ECS Tuning can ship quickly what they have in stock.

Anyone receive a mystery pack of 50th Anniversary Roundels yet from BMW Parts Pros? Please add your PNs in the post.

Waiting for my backordered 50th Anniversary Classic ///M Roundels kit....

Update. Love how they came out.

[ChiTownM]

My roundels are faded and some paint is off them, so replacing them with these gives it an added touch and i like the look. Who cares what someone else thinks, it is my car and not a poser mobile anyways
