Where to buy black/white replacement roundels?
When I had my E46, they sold actual aftermarket roundels that were black/white or CF/white... unfortunately they arent 1 size fit all as far as I know. If they are 1 size fit all, please let me know!!! I sold my E46 with the roundels installed, lol so I cant remove them and check for myself. I'm also looking for a satin black or glossy black "X5" emblem to replace (or I may just debadge but I like the black emblem look). I'm getting the painted glossy kidney grilles, if that will give you an idea of how I want the car to look. I havent made up my mind on whether to get the Weisslicht or the Lux AE upgrade yet... they look pretty much the same to me in pictures, other than the price. Weisslicht looks a bit more "blue" than the Lux pics from what I've seen. Also, this is unrelated to the OP but what are your thoughts on the N52 approaching 100k? Right now it's at 61k but I'd like to keep the car for long term instead of just short term. I've been lurking the E9x forums on bimmerfest but I havent seen anything major problems listed for those engines... but most of the users on those forums have the N54 and the N55. Are there any non-engine related issues I should prepare myself for? Such as failing cooling components, transmission issues, transfercase, electrical, random things falling apart? Thank you |

Just buy the overlays from Bimmian using the vehicle's color code... They will not come off, had them for a decade at least.

Got the same ones, have used them on 4 beemers over the last 5 years. Work great. Just make sure you use some rubbing alcohol to clean the roundels before application. |

Hi, newB to this board, but 20+ years of BMW. I had a 2001 E53, 6 cylinder, now a vermillion 2012 X5D, air suspension in back, comfort seats & almost all the other stuff.
My mail order vendor, bavauto.com, has several different colors of vinyl overlays and they have a clear overlay to help protect it. re: engine lifetime issues: many people recommend water pump replacement on 6 cylinder engines at 80K, mine lasted over 100K and was only replaced when the thermostat broke (open, at least). Also had an overflow tank leak, just the usual cooling issues. I also had front rotor warping, even with OEM rotors, until I switched to drilled rotors that stayed cooler, done that with most of my cars. |
