Replacement Z3 Badge

[Toby Mills]

I decided to debadge my pre facelift Z3 as in my mind it was going to look good. A few days have gone by and I'm starting to feel a sense of dread every time i look at the rear of it.

So... I decide to go on ebay to see if I can buy a fresh z3 badge, only to find out that they are a) like rocking horse sh*t. b) £50+ for the z and 3 together.

Does anyone know where to find them cheaper / buy replicas? I can't justify spending £50 for a badge at this moment in time.

PS. I already know I'm stupid for debadgeing it so please be kind

Thanks

Toby

Do you mean the Z 3 from the boot lid, as stuck on the red box in the photo below?

Yeah. The rear lettering "Z3"

What is this badge you speak of

You are welcome to the ones I have, but you will need to find some double sided foam tape to refit them on your car.

This looks good

Why did you not keep the ones you took off. The Z came off my 3 and I restock it with some 3M double sided tape.

My badges all came off and went into a box in case I want them later. When I got my car the previous owner had tried to replicate an M with all the badges and German flags. Its not so I took all of them off except the round BMW ones.

I wasn't really thinking when I took them off. They were not in good condition so I threw them in the bin. It's only later I realised they were hard to come by

I took mine off a few years ago now; think it looks much better without.

You’ll get used to it. It’s much cleaner without the badge- when I ‘lost’ mine I was somewhat torn but given a bit of time much prefer it - which I could have lost the boot latch thing as well..

People also ask ‘what is it?’ sometimes as it doesn’t have any BMW badges anymore either. I like that!

I must admit from the examples shown it can look very smart. I'll take your advice and give it some time
