M badges

Hi All,

Just a question regarding M badges and where one can obtain them other than the dealers that are actually full of nonsense regarding them as well. If there are available through the forum are they OEM or replica's and are they any good?

The dealers are full of nonsense because people put M badges on non M cars. If you have an M car and need a new badge, simply take your VIN as proof and they order you another one. Expensive (I paid R650 for my rear badge) but hardly impossible to get. They keep stock in Midrand for most M badges.

Thanks Ratslaaf, I do understand why they full of nonsense about it. I am looking into de-badging my 530d Msport and doing something a little different with the badge on the rear - like dropping the 530 part and just leaving the d with the M badge (considering there are m badges all over the place - wheels, steering wheel, door sills etc :) )
Once upon a time you could have a de-badge option of R100.00 with the option of leaving it blank or additional cost of replacing the original with the M badge - and this was only offered on Msport or individual models. Ex used to be a sales person at BMW so I knew about this.

How different?

If you going to repaint it, I've got one here for you for gratis. The colours on this one has faded hence me replacing it.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not considering painting the M badge as such. I'm also not sure if I want to try the smaller badge that has found its way onto the F30 fenders recently. I don't want it to be an in ur face thing, more subtle if it can be achieved. But thanks for the offer in any event, appreciated.
