No I haven't. But Looks interesting. I am chasing some good quality black and white roundels. I ordered some from jbspeed which are less than ideal. Would be keen to understand more about these. Do you know how they are produced? I couldn't find this info on their website.

M_Power Rob · 11-08-2023, 06:44 AM

Look pretty junky, imo. Not only are they not rounded and smooth, but the colored part is vinyl. Hard pass...

ghostz · 11-08-2023, 10:23 AM

It’s vinyl? Oh? I didn’t see that anywhere haha ya maybe a no go then

ghostz · 11-08-2023, 10:33 AM

Ok found this on the website and I see the spot about vinyl… sound like it’s under a clear coat.

2 Pcs, custom 3D-printed glossy car emblems, improved durability Version 2. The badges are available in different sizes to fit each BMW model. You can customize the secondary color, which is Oracal 551 High-Performance Cal car vinyl. In the first image is black + Tangerine yellow shown.

The badges are printed out of ABS-like Pro resin, which will withstand extreme weather and temperatures, from snow and heavy rain to hot sun. Excellent impact resistance, which helps with much easier installation on the car and removes the room for human errors.

We use professional two-component car paint and lacquer to protect our emblems. If your vehicle is exposed to extreme conditions in the form of off-roading or even gravel roads, then a 2K clear coat prevents scratches and scrapes.

Pretty cool idea. Nice to see someone try something new.

That said, those little gaps and recesses are going to be a major pain to keep clean.

Ruebarb has them -

Ok I’m in. Need to confirm what sizes we need for the bonnet and boot lid.

I have an Alpine M2 ready for pick up so want the full Storm Trooper look of black and white roundels.

ghostz · 11-13-2023, 03:32 PM

I believe it’s 82 front and back

Alpine* · 11-14-2023, 04:48 AM

Ordered black and white plus the steering wheel roundel.

Can’t wait.

sacowich · 11-14-2023, 04:09 PM

I’m gonna try out the carbon fiber.
82 and 74mm.
Ordered yesterday. Already shipped from Latvia.

ghostz · 11-14-2023, 04:12 PM

Is that right size for g42? I thought it was 82” front and back

Ordered for g87. That’s what I measured with calipers.

ghostz · 11-17-2023, 02:17 AM

Oh yes I always forget that this forum is mixed g42 and g87. My bad

g42.nibbs · 01-08-2024, 01:09 AM

Yes! I have them installed on my g42. Red and black badges. It weights the same as the OEM. I would recommend getting some 3M tape to install

M2Jorge · 01-08-2024, 10:01 PM

I only got the steering wheel emblem

I get it - we all have different tastes & styles & all... but this seems like a mod for mod's sake. Looks bad - especially that last pic. oof.

I got a set, and decided not to install them. The Red didn't come close to matching Toronto Red, and then I "Autoflexed" the car Calypso Red, and the color was off even more.

Plus, I thought they looked kinda funky. The black plastic looks really plasticky.

So I slapped a set of 50th Anniversary Heritage badges on instead. And those look awesome!
