M badge needed

[Mario]

Hello

I am looking for an M badge for my pre-facelift M - (yes it's for an M don't worry) - I Have bought a spare boot lid to swap for my luggage rack drilled one and I am trying to find an affordable badge.

I have seen the originals go for about 35 quid but surely there must be a cheaper option?

Note that for the pre-facelift S50 it needs to be the "flat" option as opposed to the "curved" on the S54

Any pointers to an affordable badge appreciated. Seen some on eBay but not sure about quality or fitment.

Thanks.

Do you mean one of these?
I was told these were ‘M’ badges so removed them from my car.

Not that like that thanks for checking - its the Big ///M emblem on the boot lid - its part number

@Mario I got a new one from BMW it was worth it! Rather than some cheap tat you will need to replace again in a year

If you manage to find a 2nd hand one you can refurb it with one of my kits!
