Lots of non OEM ones on eBay if you can’t stomach the BMW price. Most of the reproductions are good quality.

That link took me to:

But the front badge is not the same as the front badge... ☹

Thanks for replying 🙂.
Regarding used badges, I could only find black and white on eBay. Otherwise only new ones for around £50, but I really want to avoid paying - this is the second time mine is stolen (I should use cement next time!!).
Thanks anyway guys!

Beware of copy badges for the front or rear.
The OEM ones are shaped to fit the profiles of the panels. Cheap copies tend not to be very accurate. Unfortunately the rip-off prices from BMW are pretty much unavoidable when it comes to decent fitting bonnet or boot badges IME.

I will happily buy Chinese eBay copies of wheel caps, ///M badges, etc, but not panel badges.

Thanks for the tip Pond, I have just bought a genuine one, as per Hard Top suggestion. Happy days :thankyou:

Good luck. Hope they last more than a year; BMW badges cost more for a reason!
OP's problem seems to be the badges being stolen. So doesn't matter if the BMW quality stays shiney for years if they're being stolen after 2 months.

Few years ago I bought cheap one off ebay for under £10 for my z3 bonnet and it was fine.

Well the one I bought for the Z3 is 3.5 years old from the same seller and my dads has been on for 5 years and looks ok so at that rate I could buy one every 5 years for the next 25 years and cost me as much as the BMW one and that has not lasted 18 years (if it was original)

Of all the various BMW badges I have bought over the years none have been genuine and I haven't had to replace any of them.
