New Roundels....
 

Thanks to John @ Bavarian Creations for these awesome roundels! The quality of the carbon fiber is unreal! These are true carbon fibre roundels, not vinyl overlays! I didn't expect them to be such great quality! I got great service from John, too!

very nice, on the site they are black... but im assuming you can get normal blue white

nice roundels.. hey Krunk - when did you get those wheels? Reps or OEM - 20"? Im deciding between those and OEM.

about a month ago, got reps from wheelsandcaps. Finish was shitty, they gave me $100 back and i kept the wheels. Even with the mild imperfections with the wheels, you really cant see them unless your cleaning them or up close.

;ot:

whats the small roundel for? steering wheel? have you installed them yet?

Yes, the small one is for the steering wheel. I have not gotten around to installing them yet, and want to wash my car before doing so. And I got silver carbon fibre to match the silver carbon fibre trim I just got wrapped.

On that website posted I didn't see roundels for the X5, did you order them custom?

steering wheel? really?
 

I didn't realize that you could replace the steering wheel roundel. Thought is cast/molded in as one piece. How tough/easy is that? (If you don't mind me asking...)

Gotta admit.. I really like those! I may have to follow your lead, lemans :)

John makes them for all BMW's in blue/silver (mine) or black/silver carbon fiber. The Steering wheel is actually an emblem with an aluminum backing. It has a thin layer of 3m tape on the back and it just sticks right over the existing emblem on the airbag. SO no need to take off airbag and try to pry off the emblem!

Those look good. My roundel on my hood is just silver. I guess someone stole the old one and the prev owner just put a scratched out silver one on it. Can we order these?

yeah.... there is only so much you can say about roundels.

Be careful about taping the roundel emblem to the steering wheel. I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I was told by the stealer that the steering wheel roundel is permananetly attached to the steering wheel airbag cover. The reason for this is that you don't want the roundel coming loose and hitting you in the case of an accident/air bag deployment. They last thing you want to have happen in the event of an accident is to have is a small metal object being fired firectly at your face....

SHIT! I better duck quick.

Sorry but that's what the thread is about..... you could always pm to ask a question!!

anyway, the roundel stays intact with the airbag cover during deployment and it only weighs about a 10th of an ounce if it does come loose....

Lemans - did you call Bavariancreations and asked for those Blue Roundel? Since, they only show Black/Silver. Could you provide John's email or pm me the info? I would like to get a couple of sets.

Thanks...

Hey guys and gals...are the roundels of the Hood and Liftgate on the x5 totally different for an e46?
