Genuine BMW OEM part # 51 14 8 079 564 (M2 Competition) (still registered under the pre-M2 Competition "M2 CS" moniker - see here):

And for fun's sake I also repost the original M2 badge:

Wow, you guys really got into the badge post. LOL. This is great. Probably should have gone here first to realize OEM is the way to go. I'll find out what an OEM one in Canada is selling for.
