m325i 709 Report post Posted June 9, 2004 Caining round waitakere roads, hit a bit of a pot hole, noticed this thing hit my bonnet. when i stopped i realised it was the BMW badge off the front, not the badge itself but the top bit. So all that is left is a crome BMW badge, no colour but all texture if u know what i mean. Went back and actually fount it on the side of the road, but its f*ckd. Know where/ if u can get just the plastic bit? or what about whole badges? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted June 9, 2004 How on earth did that fall off? Amazing!! You might find it easier to get a whole new roundel. You should be able to get a decent one from a wrecker ata better price than a new one from a dealer. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aliluya 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2004 I brought a new one from the dealer couple of months ago for like $45 ... i've still got my old one, it's got some sort of stain on the inside of it, but not that noticable on first glance .. you can have it if you pay for postage, just hope i can find it again .. lol ..

Guest Spargo Report post Posted June 11, 2004 FYI: E30 badges are metal, the new ones are plastic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grant 4 Report post Posted June 11, 2004 FYI: E30 badges are metal, the new ones are plastic! E30's are just pure quality all round. All you E36'ers should upgrade to an E30 when you get the chance.(right, that should spark a few angry replies ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted June 11, 2004 I was talking about real quality, not cosmetics. BTW, I am just sh*t stirring, passing the time before beer o'clock at work. That is a nice looking E36 though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viking 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2004 Crap, I think you might have me on that one....... Either way, still wanna see some widebody kits :bounce: anyone know of any aside the BMP one (theres another one but I cant remember who makes it but it looked naff anyway) ?

Viking 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2004 True, but do you have a body kit for your E36??? No but I havent seen a really nice one for a E30, which is why I'm still on the fence between E30/E36 for a project car... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
