Retro fitting the 50 years of M badges

I’ve just picked up a used M340i touring and love the look of the 50 Years of M style badges.
Has anyone retro fitted them themselves?

Thanks

Do you get them off a BMW dealer or eBay? Also was it an easy swap?

I was looking for some instant gratification so I went to my local dealer and paid too much - I think forum sponsor jbspeed has a nice replica set (maybe take a look to compare to eBay)

Yes easy - just look up DIY videos all over you tube for how to remove and reinstall the roundels

As for wheel center caps - I like to use a small suction cup and just pop them out from the front

It’s best to get the OEM ones because the colours won’t fade.

I did mine, lots of places sell them such as IND. You just need a plastic pry tool, some painters tape and a heat gun for the rear emblem

While I went with OEM (because I wanted same day instant gratification) here are the JBSpeed ones I referenced. I have no first hand experience with these emblems - but I do have first hand experience with JBSpeed and have always been very pleased with the quality of their products, speed to ship and customer service

I just lost two of my center caps last week with all the rain.
Do you have your original center caps? Would you sell them to me?
