Need BMW Emblem for steering wheel

Does anyone know if this item can be ordered? I would like to replace the emblem on the steering wheel b/c mine has a big scratch in it. The dealer tells me that it cannot be ordered and it only comes with a new air bag. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks

We've got replacements if you're looking to do a color change:

Same roundel sizing should apply to the e70 on the steering wheel.

Dealer is telling the truth - OEM is not available separate from the airbag. There are alternatives like what is listed though.

Steering wheel roundel diameter has not changed since the e53 - order whatever color you wish!

This is a replacement roundel that is placed over your existing unit - so not remove the original, there a retaining clip that will break if you attempt to.

Tom,

Does this mean that the roundels you are selling are a bit bigger than what is originally on E70, in order to cover them, since you don't remove them.

Exactly the same, since it lays over the original.
