The cheap ones are just stickers that fall off.

Go to realoem, get the part number, and use that to search for a genuine item.

I bought a front from my dealer but only after checking on the price on-line. THey started at 2x the online price but in the end matched. So, I always check on line first now.

bavauto if i am not mistaken carries all emblems from recollection for between $5-$20 approximately. If not currently they were a former site sponsor. You could also hit one of the ads on this site that is a sponsor and give them a shot.

Why not check for the correct part/parts yourself first, then go into the dealer armed with the correct part nbr and outside vendor pricing...you may be able to work a better deal if they charge more for the emblem.

And do you need just the rear emblem (#3 in the diagram)...or do you have a Chrome or Titan base option (#4 in the diagram)...and they stole that, too? Also remember you may need new grommets if they stayed with on the nibs of the stolen emblem.

Thanks Q and all !

Q, yes i went to RealOEM.com to get the parts number - the punks did at least a clean job and let the base intact (rear) ..Ah ah just call the stealers today $60 buck for the badge !!! Ironic that i'm paying to put there logo on!?!? I told them this one, at least should be free ....no way:/)....

Q, what is grommet ??

Lost my front badge this weekend. Wonder if this makes it "a thing".

The badges have a pair (the front is 2) small plastic feet that fit into a snug rubber grommet that fits into the base. Look to see if you have the rubber grommet stuck in the base or if it is just chromed plastic/metal.

There are lots of places to get them, but be suspicious of prices below $25 - no one is selling real ones that cheaply anymore. I just looked it up at BMW of Morristown - rear badge 51141970248 is $26.06 from them. $28.66 at ECS Tuning or $30.64 with the grommets - and they have a how-to video...
