Philip, get me the link if poss so I can go back to them. I just did a search on ebay and the only BMW roundel in carbon fibre I could find was a blue carbon fibre EFFECT badge at £8.99 +p&p each.

Carbon fibre in black is available in real carbon fibre or carbon-style. As is black and silver.

On second look I dont think it is the same company, however I have seen the company your looking at selling on ebay.

The link for the real black carbon roundels is

I checked, the company in question havent sold on ebay for a while but am talking to a guy I know who got a pair off ebay to see who supplied his. Whatever the outcome I'll try and get the best possible prices.

I have seen the ones above in the flesh as it were hence me approaching them and can coonfirm they are good quality.

I think that they look very good, not chav in the slightest!

My main concern is some herbert nicking them off one of my beemers!

Three of my bm's are black so I reckon they would add a little bit of subtle aesthetic quality.

I can see how some would not agree, but that's the great thing about opinions, everyone's got one! Even if its wrong!!!

Just reread an old article on the Porsche GT3.........interestingly on normal Porsches the badge is enamel but on the GT3 its a sticker to save on weight!!!

I reckon they'll look fine on black. If worried about someone nicking them you could always add some superglue to rear when attaching them!!!!!!

Or wire the badges to the mains!!!

The latter - I likes it!! Wire straight to the HT side of the ignition, that would give the little buggers a right royal shock!!!

Yup,reminds me of the M3 they tested on TV in South Africa with CS gas sprays in the wingmirror housing or the ultimate one with the flame-throwing burners under the car that shoot flame out and up.

Yep for an e34.

I view & drove a fantastic 92 525 sport m5 lookalike shown below.

It looks great but drives PHENOMANALLY (not sure of spelling).

Although I loved my 525 which was recently murdered by a man in a van this drives totally different,not sure if its just because its manual or due to other mods-it has a strut brace,s-steel exhaust,hkl induction kit,sports suspension,lsd but owner doesnt think it has been chipped or remapped or anything but I am not so sure.(panel in the rear valance for towbar will be on the car when I get it).

Has bmw history up to 148k & has done 151k

Not as refined as my se but it goes like a bat out of hell & sticks to the road like nobodys business.

Only criticism is that the bumpers have faded a bit-any tips ?

I drove a 540 this week but there really is no comparison,car is fabulous-ooooh I am so excited ! (how childish is that)

Giving a deposit early next week & picking it up as soon as I am paid from ins co.

On the subject of the roundels, I asked the chap I mentioned above about the real blue carbon, and he said he didnt kno of anyone supplying them. So real black it is then!!!

its £2k,

I think there are much cheaper cars about but I believe the extras worth paying ,it drives like nothing I Have ever driven & Makes my old 525 feel like it was an 1100 corsa or something

All prices are for a pair.

If its done on per person so you pay them then they send them out its £2.95 p&p
