Would you do it?

Maybe I don't want to know but would you install these emblem overlays on your car? They are removable but as you can see if you are up close you can slightly see the BMW letters mirroring through the film. From a small distance like 4'-5' you don't see it.
Produced with a subtle matte laminate so they are not super glossy.

If you have to ask, you already know. If you want those emblems, get the OEM part and swap them out.

While I like these heritage roundels, this is becoming a bit like the M grill stripe nonsense in my personal opinion.

When I was getting some rubber mounted ahead of a track day there was a beat E46 wagon on stock wheels that pulled in that had them along with the steering wheel emblem.

As soon as BMW released these as an option on the latest M cars I knew this would happen. It’s in some ways akin to putting an //M badge on a non-M in that the people that notice it are the people that know they don’t belong.

There will surely be posters to follow that tell you all mods are cool and soul skaters do what soul skaters want and screw the haters blah blah blah but there is a right and a wrong way to do this.

I think seeing the original BMW letters under would bother me. Obviously your car, your choice.

I agree with above comments. Get the OEM roundels and trash the stickers.

Nope, I also feel those annv rundles don't look as good as the original, however if you want them I would just buy the rundle and put it on.
