Can you get these yet bro?

If you can you should advertise more, you always have the best prices (and fantastic service).

I've been holding off on advertising these as they've been back-ordered - I will be posting them up just as soon as inventory is available. (they can be ordered through our site at this time, but we don't currently have an ETA on when we'll see them just yet)

I think the X3M has 82mm hood/trunk emblems.
///M cars have 82/74 mm hood/trunk emblems.

Check Paddleshifterz for fitment PNs.

Cheers

uh....I already have a set and shared the info on the PN I've used to put these on my M2 CS. If others want to go with 196, be my guest, but 545 also fits perfectly fine on my trunk, and it will fit nicely on my M235iR trunk as well.

[nyc_dude]

Some nice folks used a jackhammer to install their 50th Anniversay roundels to their M2s, because they ordered the wrong PNs.

BMW Enthusiasts rely on Bimmerpost for accurate technical information to avoid the excessive costs of repairs and Mods. This is especially true as ///M cars approach $90-100k prices.

Of course, any adhesive only roundel will fit hood/trunk alike. So you lucked out.
Not much difference in size between 74mm and 82mm.

BMW could have made roundels the same size with the same rear mounting across platforms. But that makes too much sense.

Cheers

Some do, and some don't. With enough searching on my end and lack of information on said search I went with the gamble on the PN's that I thought would be a great fit with the 82/74 combo. I shared that info in the hopes that it would help for those that have to have it now without sacrificing fitment.

Whether 196 or 545, both fit and if you put them side by side I guarantee you 9/10 no one would notice the difference.

Just sharing for those that don't want to wait until August. I ordered Sunday, and they're already dispatched from APM today.

Also, 4 are in stock at APM.

Maybe it is just me but I think an 82MM badge on the trunk looks funny on an M car. I used the standard 82MM hood and 74MM trunk.

And as you saw in a previous post GETBMWPARTS does not have any inventory on 50th Anniversay roundels.

[to_riffic]

I can tell you 545 is not 82mm and it fits perfectly on my trunk....enjoy the wait for the 196

[nyc_dude]

51117886545 is indeed 74mm. It looks like BMW added the smaller 74mm roundel on the hood for the G8X M3/M4 and the larger 82mm on the trunk for the G82/G82 M4, with the 74mm for the G80 M3.

That is backwards for most BMWs over the last 20+ years. HaHa


Cheers

[kylesobe]

Looking into them as well. I think ind has them $140.

[to_riffic]

51117886545 - 74mm.
51148087190 - 82mm.

Less than a week from APM.

[nyc_dude]

Thanks to updated photos on the Paddleshifterz site and eBay for various 50th Anniversary Classic M roundels, there are a range of PNs that fit a F87 M2.

51148087188 - 82mm (HOOD)
No Pins/Perimeter Adhesive Only - 3 Alignment Holes

51148087189 - 82mm (HOOD)
No Pins/Entire Rear Surface Adhesive Only - 2 Alignment Holes

51148087190 - 82mm (HOOD) - You have to break off the 2 pins, so get 188/189 instead.
2 Arrow-shaped Pins/Entire Rear Surface Adhesive


51148087195 - 74mm (TRUNK)
2 Pins/Perimeter Adhesive

51148087196 - 74mm (TRUNK)
2 Pins/Entire Rear Surface Adhesive

51117886545 - 74mm (TRUNK)
2 Pins/Perimeter Adhesive

Some vendors ship what they have in stock, versus what is the best fit for your vehicle application.

NOTE: Be prepared to add some 3M double-sided tape in a pinch.

I ordered my BMW E9X M3 and F30 335i roundels as a mystery box from a US BMW Retailer. So I will see what arrives. I will probably order extra similar roundels with different PNs to compare the rear mounting. I also ordered aftermarket 5 x 120mm 68mm wheel center caps from eBay from a US seller to check the quality and fitment. I added the steering wheel emblem.


Cheers

[shaneguags]

I wanna see them on the LBB M2, I'm curious if it'll look good

595 is not arrow shaped pins. Just like the other 74mm trunk emblems. Don't seem to believe 595 fits the F models apparently. lol

[nyc_dude]

Yes 190 has arrow-shaped pins...not 545. Copy and Paste Typo.

I received the 5 x 120 mm (68 mm dia) wheel center caps from an eBay seller in Beverly Hills, CA. Good quality plastic tabs that are not brittle and the emblem has a clear plastic film to protect the finish until installation. It has the raised chrome highlights around the inner BMW emblem. I just need to order the steering wheel emblem...it is not sold separately.

I should have the 50th Anniversary hood/trunk emblems by the end of next week for an BMW E9X M3 and F3X 335i M-Sport. I will measure to see if the pin spacing is different across PNs, explaining why there are so many similar PNs.


Cheers

Studie AG in Japan seems to show them installed on a Long Beach Blue LBB F87 M2
https://www.studie.jp/endo/126394/

The best exterior color matches are White, Black, Red, and Light Blue. I have an Estoril Blue BMW F30 335i M-Sport and it should look great.

I will also run them on a darker Interlagos Blue E9X M3. We are hoping IND can custom paint the roundels to replace the white with black or a dark blue. That will look great on all BMW exterior paint colors, even dark blue. For easy one/off I will try to scrap off the adhesive on the rear 74mm trunk roundel and just use the 2 pins to attach it.

Then you have to find a match to your wheel finish for the wheel center caps.

looks pretty good on LBB surprisingly but like you said, I think it looks best on the white cars though. def a nice touch and something I'm looking into. I was thinking of the blacked out roundels but I think they make little difference from the OEM ones. I like the fact that the 50th anniversary roundels add a bit of character

This picture might have sold me on these roundels, thanks for that! Looks really nice

[nyc_dude]

Three things to consider:

- IND might make available custom painted 50th Anniversary roundels so you can replace the white with black or dark blue. So wait on that.

- For Custom blacked out roundels IND has a blacked out carbon fiber roundel with matching floating wheel center caps

- You can run the OEM 50th Anniversary Roundels and do something custom for the wheel center caps (IND), if the wheel finish is black or gunmetal.

The M2 roundels use an adhesive, so it is not so easy to swap them out regularly. But you can use 3D double-stick tape.

A Mod is a Mod. +5 HP

def need that 5+ hp boost for noticeable gains

[nyc_dude]

Anyone receive a mystery pack of 50th Anniversary Roundels yet from BMW Parts Pros? Please add your PNs in the post.

Waiting for my backordered 50th Anniversary Classic ///M Roundels kit....


Cheers

[F87 S55]

Thanks to everyone here for the great information and part numbers. I called my local dealership, BMW of Lincoln to check on pricing and availability for the front and rear 50th Anniversary Roundels. They checked the inventory in Germany and there are many in stock so they ordered them for me. Delivery is to be in 2 weeks, no more than 3 weeks.

Here is what I ordered using part numbers provided here.
Front 82mm - 51-14-8-087-189 - $40.12
Rear 74mm - 51-11-7-886-545 - $39.78

You can call Ryan at 402-479-7591 and he will help you. If you want to order them online you can visit their Webstore for OE BMW and Mercedes Benz parts at www.bmwdirectparts.com

**This BMW center has won the BMW CCA top Regional Dealership award several times and offers a cost plus 10% discount on most all parts. These Roundels show as 20.40% off list. They will ship and match/beat any OE BMW dealer price. I'm not affiliated other than I buy a lot of parts, and some cars, from them.

[nyc_dude]

Delivery times on these 50th Anniversary Roundels are unusually long. It's like they put them on that auto transport ship full of gorgeous Porsches that sank in the Atlantic.

ECS Tuning has some PNs, but shipping is $50 for a $50 roundel.
BMW Parts Pros shipping delay from Germany is 4 weeks plus.
Paddleshifterz DHL + US Postal Service shipping is 2 weeks.
IND has most kits in stock and will ship the fastest. Labor Day Sale!!
Bonus Ceramic Coating Option.

My Paddleshifterz order shipped in 3 days and then nothing for a week. Parcel just showed up at LAX in Customs 8 days later. OktoberFest must be starting earlier each year.

BMW Parts Pros backordered from Germany for a month.

It is 107F in LA this weekend, so pulling off the adhesive won't require must finesse.

50th Anniversary wheel center caps and steering wheel emblem (Amazon/eBay) are lonely.


Cheers
