I have never understood why owners let the badges or roundels look bad, chipped or faded. The next option of course is to upgrade, and this is the 50th anniversary of the BMW M Division! 50 years of the ultimate 'ultimate driving machine'. New M cars this year can get optional heritage style badging, so I wanted to upgrade my M2 competition to this new look!
There already are LOTS of bad copies out there, and knockoffs from the familiar places, AND you cannot get these badges yet in the US from dealers. I found a parts supplier in Denmark and the UK though that can get the OEM parts, so I ordered!
Changing, or upgrading your badges is easy so why not do it!

Just installed these today on my M2, they definitely look better and just more unique. BMW came out with ones that are a proper fit for both front and back. I ordered mine on IND Distribution site and the install took a couple of mins just like the video.

[@BMWDIYGuy]

Well done!

[@Cris-ir2ny]

just bought 2 and will install them later on.. they look niceeee

[@BMWDIYGuy]

I love it!

[@wcmauldin81]

Love the 50th anniversary badges. Want these for mine but I would like the wheel caps as well.

[@BMWDIYGuy]

Yeah, I am frustrated they dont have auto leveling heritage caps.

[@bobdidit55]

Looks awesome, I want them on my M2c

[@BMWDIYGuy]

Do it!!!

[@PhilCascio97]

I'd love them for my F20 BMW 1 Series 😍

[@BMWDIYGuy]

Did you get them?

[@PhilCascio97]

Yes, I got them, thanks 👍

[@Rocketed12]

I'm buying these for my M140i F21, they're £50 each here in UK and need the small mod like for your M2, cutting off the 2 end bits to fit flush 👍

[@BMWDIYGuy]

Well done!

[@scott8193]

I got all wheels, steering wheel, hood and trunk for $18 and the quality is amazing. I was planning to buy the oem but it’s no need to at this point.

[@babber2536]

Theres not much quantity of goldem emblems i wonder why

[@NeutralGenericUser]

My 2023 i4 actually had this option from the factory, but I decided against it because I thought I wouldn't like the asymmetric logos. I kind of regret it, because I realize now that if I had gotten the 50th anniversary badges, it eliminates the blue outlines that denote EV. I think I still prefer the blacked out logos, but the G series is really annoying to replace because the rear logo includes the camera, which makes it more difficult to replace

[@BMWDIYGuy]

I can understand that, but still options to upgrade later. 8)

[@tlcj3838]

Use fishing string to cut the adhesives first makes it a breeze

[@BMWDIYGuy]

Great suggestion!

[@cryptorich8186]

Tasty motor

[@BMWDIYGuy]

Couldn't agree more.. the S55 was fantastic!

[@peterwood2633]

Was it from AutoID by any chance? If so which ones fit please? Thanks Saw your link in description cheers!

[@BMWDIYGuy]

You are welcome!

[@peterwood2633]

I got some from Auto ID when visiting UK, now need to install them! I'm LBB😊

[@babber2536]

Theres not much quantity of goldem emblems i wonder why

[@egycsab]

Whats the best adhesive to use for a re-badge?

[@BMWDIYGuy]

It has adhesive on it so good to go

[@bertrandtoussaint4332]

Hi, I bought some for cheap (40€ for 2 plus 4x for the wheels), installed them on the hood and trunk but once plugged, it is slightly pivoting on the horizontal axe, just like if it was not completely flat. MAybe because they are cheap, fake ones? Guess it's supposed to be perfectly flat, right? Would you say it's worth paying the 60€ for the real official BMWs?

[@BMWDIYGuy]

I am super detail oriented, so went with the oem even though more expensive

[@Passthebev]

If i have a 2022 bmw should i still cut the prongs?

[@BMWDIYGuy]

Maybe.. depends on the hood plugs. Only do so if you have to

[@joshryner4604]

I bought my 2023 because of this badge. I wanted it from the factory with them

[@BMWDIYGuy]

Nice!

[@LE_Gulf_Breeze_Football]

Where did you get the badge from please?

[@BMWDIYGuy]

Links and parts are in the video description 8)

[@100panik]

Does this measuring ignore the same for x5 g05 2019?

[@BMWDIYGuy]

Hard to say as each car can be a little different.. I check the OEM sizes first, then by the same sized heritage.

[@Dr.Ijaz_ab]

Even I wanted the original ones, I paid almost 150 for my M440i

[@BMWDIYGuy]

Yeah.. I totally get it and I am the same on this. I could have gotten the cheap knockoffs easily, but it just didnt feel right.

[@DazJeffo]

The one shown in the first part is the type of emblem I have on my 1 series F20. (bonnet) But I am trying to obtain an after market version (B&W) and the only type I've been able to find its the ones where the posts are like the boot emblem on the 2nd half of this video. I cannot find the 3 post type, so if anyone can advise please let me know TYIA.

[@ohplvtinum5935]

yes i’m having this same issue

[@DazJeffo]

@@ohplvtinum5935 Not just me then... I have looked everywhere I can think of to no avail, they all seem to supply the 2 pins option, but not the 3. I'm at a loss now. I'm debating, modifying the 2 pin one somehow, maybe just cutting the pins off altogether and just sticking it down with adhesive, or even just double sided tape?

[@BMWDIYGuy]

That absolutely can work.

[@BMWDIYGuy]

Did you end up finding the right set?

[@DazJeffo]

@@BMWDIYGuy No I just cut the pins off and used double sided tape!

[@neilmorris6046]

Real ones are exspensive

[@BMWDIYGuy]

No arguement there and you can definitely get copies that are less expensive.

[@chrispick306]

Not a fan of this badge, just my opinion, but it looks like it’s got masking tape around the actual bmw logo!

[@BMWDIYGuy]

I like it on some colors and not on others for sure.
