BMW roundel

JaF22MPower · 10-29-2012, 01:39 PM

Hey everyone. Anyone know if its possible to get this type of roundel onto an E90 or if anyone makes it. I tried searching for it but i could't find it. Anyone know of anything about it?

wtf is that nonsense

JStang · 10-29-2012, 02:22 PM

Gawd I hope not.

Not nonsense. In the 70s and 80s when BMW Motorsport was first forming, the company created these roundels for what would eventually become the first M cars: the 3.0 CSL, 2002 turbo, M1, etc.

I don't think you can buy them brand new from BMW anymore, but search around for "Motorsport Roundel." The hood roundel on E90s (and most modern BMWs) is 82mm, so look for a Motorsport one in that size.

Personally, I feel that this style roundel is only appropriate on period correct M cars, but to each his own.

Steering wheel from an E12 M535i (yes you read that correctly), basically the M5 that never was:

And the same badge featured on the steering wheel of the M1:

That style roundel appeared on Motorsport BMWs of the '70s. Cars like the 3.0 CSL, 2002 turbo, the previously mentioned M5, and BMWs first and only true supercar, the M1. Its appearance was relatively rare in the product lineup, and was reserved for the highest performance BMWs of the time.
