Gentlemen,

I want the 50th anniversary emblems for the hood, trunk and wheels. However, I would only want them if the steering wheel emblem is offered as well. My OCD won’t allow me to have a different emblem for the steering wheel. Does anyone know if this part exists and is it OEM? If not OEM, how’s the fitment? Thanks in advance.

Ps: I did a google search and see some available but it looks to be just a sticker overlay that I’m not interested in.

There is no OE steering wheel heritage roundel. I have been looking for this (as well as floating OE heritage center caps) to match everything else. I too have OCD over this stuff, and I have heritage roundels in every location except the steering wheel (as it came from the factory). Since I am also not interested in an overlay, nor in an aftermarket roundel, I’ve left it as is for the time being — even though it bothers me, too.

I’m not into aftermarket stuff, especially on my M5, but I also drew a blank when looking for a steering wheel roundel to match the wheel/ bonnet/ boot ones, so went with one of the decent ones off eBay. It’s a metal badge that sticks to the existing roundel rather than a sticker, is very good quality and looks oem.

Anyone have a link to where to buy them all

I share your sentiments in this post. Would you please share a link of the one your purchased? There are so many on eBay, it’s sometimes difficult to discern which ones are the “better” ones.

I’m in the UK, but this is the one I bought

Thank you! I knew you are in the UK, but I figured it to be better to buy one someone from here could vouch for (and if it looked good to me), even if the trip across the pond is more expensive than the item itself.

Here’s a picture of my wheel, with the badge fitted.

Thank you so much, this is really helpful! Is there some color bleeding in the bottom right portion of the rings, or is it just photo?

Nope, it’s just the photo. No matter how high res I take the photos, they always appear slightly blurry when I post them online.

Thank you so much once again! And I meant to say top right, not bottom. I appreciate the clarification. I will be ordering this!

Oh yeah I see that now. It’s just a reflection of the light, you’ll be pleased with the badge I’m sure.

Not to threadjack, but is there somewhere that sells the steering wheel badge with the chrome ring painted gloss black like IND does with the emblems on the exterior?

It is crazy how many different makers or resellers there are, like carbon fiber I think it's all from the same factory and just rebranded dozens of times over and exaggerating of their marketing claims. I did try to buy from a sponsor here, the quality is okay. He said it is like OEM, not even close.

Absolutely agree with this. That’s why I wanted to know what RichF90M5C had gone with. There’s a handful of manufacturers and a whole lot of sellers.

He says that about everything he sells. I once inquired in my newer days here, and didn’t end up purchasing after doing some further research.

This is probably one of the few if not the only OEM heritage badge (at least it looks like it) for the steering. It’s on the E60 M5 CSL prototype.

P.S. I could be wrong because the blue looks black and its also missing the red semi circle.

I think the only real differentiator will be QC. Maybe one company gets 100 items from the same supplier but discards the worst 25% and sells the rest at a higher price. The perceived quality is better even though the actual product is identical.

When fitting this did you overlay the original badge or remove the original.
I have bought the exact same badge for my G42 but it wont sit correctly over the top of the original

[NoMods]

Overlay, can't remember where I got it last year but there's the annoying one in the sponsors that spams the forum like there's no tomorrow sells it too.

mad murph try the BimmerKings one discussed towards the end of page 1 and throughout page 2 at this thread: https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=2033973

A handful of us have had good luck with that overlay.

NoMods the seller’s quality is absolute crap.
