_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Have had this kicking in my shed for a number of years, decided to put it on my E30 last week. Anyone have any information about it at all? were they given to all members in a particular year? or prehaps to particular members? know of any others in existance? etc etc? i literally know nothing about it. I know it once was coloured, it was so when i got it. however it was all cracked and disgusting so i sanded it all off, actually doesnt look too bad as is so its stayed.

C-130 Hercules 571 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Ernst (Bavarian Motors) would also know. He's been with the club since forever. I joined the club in 2001 and received sticker in same style as your badge. Edited April 26, 2015 by C-130 Hercules Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 ask Gerry hodges , president of the car club , been there for years Cool i can see his mobile and landline there on bmwccnz website, feel a bit wierd cold calling him. not sure if i have met him before, i think i met him at BM World? do you have an email for him? stickers only afaik (since about 2002) Yeah i would say this has to be at least early to mid 90s. It came in on a 316i i had a few years back, but an otherwise rough ish car, i suspect it would have been onanother car before that, so that would put it in to late 80s.... hmm anyone have anything earlier than 2001?

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted April 27, 2015 Could we commission a batch of that to be made if there are enough interest? theoretically of course but you are "stealing" the BMW logo and the BMW CC logo.The car club could do another batch i guess.

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted April 29, 2015 At worst it would be copyright infringement and that's not "stealing" - too many people watching bullshit anti-piracy ads. Interestingly that stylised Kiwi is also protected, I wonder if BMWCCNZ got permission to use it? Copyright is what I mean,as far as the kiwi...one hopes so,i would think BMW AG would be careful in such matters Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guidelines here, http://www.bmw-clubs-international.com/en/about_us/_shared/pdf/guideline_5_gestalltungsrichtlinien_auftritt.pdf I'd reckon the club would have sort permission to use it .

my_e36 43 Report post Posted May 4, 2015 I meant for the club to do it of course, as a badge of honor for long time members. Saw some older people with the AA grill plaques. I guess they were for long time members? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
