BMW dealers will provide a new one free of charge if you provide a chassis number.
Or at least they have done so for my M6 - they said it applies to all M cars. |

Why pay e-bay for a potential copy when u can get it from a stealer FOC? ------------- The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. |

I bought one too last year from a stealer. If I'd known they were supposed to be free I would have made sure I got it for nothing.
Find out which dealers gave it free and tell your local dealer. While you're at it ask him what other bits he can get you free, a spare engine maybe! We don't get much for nothing! Kevin |

They used to be free, but not no more! Around £20+vat for new badges. ------------- If it's easy, you're doing it wrong! |

Exactly - Ebay has some genuine ones for around £10. -------------

Anyone know when they stopped being free?
We got ours from Dick Lovett in Bristol not that long ago... |

| The dealer did say they will put it on for me and it comes with a 2 year anti corrosion warranty. |

Well high speed badge failure can be expensive to fix..
Wonder if there is a wear and tear clause in the warranty for the badge? |
