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.

OEM is completely unessary....dont waste your money

thanks! are they all the same size or are they model specific? and how are they removed? i tried prying it off with a screwdriver but it didn't seem to move easily.

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.
