Hi all,

I am looking at getting the exterior of my Z3 MCoupe tidied up in the next month or so, but on looking closely at the car the exterior badges are looking a bit worse for wear and could do with being replaced. I am wary of ordering some stuff off eBay only to find that the quality is poor so thought I'd see of anyone has any recommendations. I am looking for:

BMW roundels front and rear
M badge rear
M badges for the front wings
BMW roundels for all four wheels
M badges for all four wheels

Ideally I'd like to avoid going through BMW as I get the impression it could cost me my soul.

Hi mate,

I did most of these on my ZMCoupe when I had it resprayed.

I got most if not all my parts from www.bmminiparts.com
They are usually abit cheaper than the dealers but if your buying all to the parts in one go guess it would be better.

Also on the side grill/vent badges are different on the S50 and S54 model, not sure which one you have. The S54 ones are more of a rounder shaper and more upto date looking. Purists will hate you if you do this LOL!
Doubt you will find these cheaper anywhere else as they are getting abit rare now and BMW upped the prices too.

For wheels non-genuine - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-BMW-M-Tech-Alloy-Wheel...

Genuine - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Genuine-M-Badge-Ligh...

Bonnet badge - 82mm - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Genuine-Car-Badge-82...

Boot badge - 70mm

Wheel badges are 68mm (around 7quid from the dealers)
