True story !

With the M235i the ones in the wheels are known to fall off quite easily. I've found mine nearly out before and pushed them back in. Dealerships tend to replace them under warranty since it seems to be a known problem. I'd imagine the one falling off the trunk would get replaced as well.

I happened to read this yesterday and it made me check my 235 tonight. Hanging by a thread on one side!

My car sat in 90 deg sun for about 12 hours yesterday and I know it has been pretty scorching in parts of Ohio lately. I'm wondering if it's the culprit.

Happened to mine too. I went to put something in the boot and found it barely hanging on. I touched it and came off in my hand. One of the plastic plugs the pins go into has gone and the other one is cracked. I still have the badge and have told them to deal with it during the run in service today. They seemed to be surprised but I expect it to become a common issue soon.

This forum will be the end of me. I wanted to ignore this problem but yesterday, it finally occurred to me to touch my roundel and sure enough, it's also loose! Wtf.

MagnusT · 07-11-2016, 02:54 PM

It fell off on my M2 the first week. I was very surprised to find this thread later

pup73 · 07-11-2016, 03:52 PM

My emblem came off this weekend!

You should get a black roundel anyway.

dmboone25 · 07-11-2016, 05:06 PM

This happened on the wheels of some of the early 235 adopters - if you go back and look at the Chris Harris review of the car, I think one of the front wheel roundels has gone bye-bye. I had a total of three Roundel losses from my 235's wheels, dealer replaced each time without any fuss. Perhaps some of this pain is part of being an early adopter?

But yes, it does look bootleg to come out to your car and see one of the badges missing, so I can understand the frustration.

I mean if anything I would get white and pink. But I like the oem one.

No. Say this isn't true. Image = destroyed.

Its a new break-in violation detector; option code SX4U.

Seriously, went out and checked my to satisfy my OCD. Did it scratch the bumper cover as it decided to eject from your car?

Just because I like cars, doesn't mean I have to stop being feminine. Lol. I know it's a tough pill to swallow. Don't worry, I would never do it again.

I don't equate omitting a pink/white roundel with a lack of femininity. Your 21 y/o self would never have subjected that 300Z to such treatment!

Harrumph!

Edit: heh... pretending to know from 1 picture - haha

Lol. Nope. Those came off rather quick. And it was a 350, Mr.

Sorry - I am old and lost track after they pulled the only Datsun/Nissan switcheroo.

Came back to this thread after mine was hanging by a thread. Low and behold it's a torn clear grommet on the left side. Will Double Sided tape work?

My replacement from Bmw is stuck on with double sided tape.

Em-too · 01-16-2017, 05:31 PM

I noticed mine was loose when I washed it today. One of the grommets was toast. I managed to use a wall anchor that fit well and now it's nice and tight. Thank goodness it didn't fall off.

do you mean like one of those plastic plugs that a screw goes into? I have no idea what the back side of the roundel looks like.

Yep, exactly. Pics for reference.

I had my roundel fall off... on my previous car that was backed into by an SUV. It now proudly sits on my desk.
