Ya.. Burgy has one. I was actually in his M3 yesterday and he had one sitting in the backseat. I was considering gluing it to his roof while he wasn't looking... none the less, he has one!!!

For what BMW?
Either the stealership or Bid or Buy. We picked up badges, original from this dude:

He's based in CT, but can ship to JHB.

I bought an e36 badge from that guy too for R149 and it was a copy but very good quality. I recommend that option

I think his name is JK, Korean chap - very friendly and helpful. Took my Wife's car to him to fix the window mechanisms. He's in Pinelands area...

I have one that I took off my E90. Dunno if its the same size though? your welcome to have it.:rollsmile:

Hi Tobofey, the badge that you have available, it wouldn't happen to be the rear boot badge?
Mine was stolen sometime ago and have been looking to get it replaced but not from the dealership.

His workmanship is pretty good and he does it while you wait, so you literally see what he is doing. He fixes before replacing, so just clarify with him if he is quoting to fix or replace the affected parts. When he worked on my Wife's car he carefully uses a sharp knife to cut the protective door inner skin away from the door so that it could be stuck back on - he knows where to cut so that there is no unnecessary cuts etc. When he got the passenger door which had obviously had a window replaced by the previous owner, there was still a few bits of broken glass in the door and whoever worked on it simply butchered the protective door lining cutting through it and actually cutting into the paintwork to metal! Also while working on the passenger door it turned out that there was a bolt for the clip that holds the glass that was missing - not something that he would usually have to replace or supply, but happily dug through a jar of old bolts and shortened one to fit. So quite resourceful!

Also gave me a good tip, every so often, spray some silicon spray into the rubbers of the window frames - this lubricates and prevents too much strain on the window mechanism! :thumbs:

My E39 also has a serious case of front badge fuglyness....

Anyone in CT have some lying around somewhere?

O yes and.... the weatherstrip around the windscreen, front seats plastic moulding for switches, some climate control buttons, Windows switch buttons in RH door. PDC? Can one replace the buttons on the steering?

No harm in asking.
