Roundel sticker overlays
Hey guys,
I was thinking about purchasing some roundel overlays from bimmian I was wondering how reliable they are with washing/waxing and heat. Also i just wanted to get some feedback to exactly what colors i should order. I have a 07 SGM 335i sedan Thanks Much |

we sell the same roundel overlays and these are rated to last up to 7-10 years from normal outdoor environmental conditions. They utilize pro grade auto vinyl and is guaranteed against defects for 1 year. |

i like bimmian.com but their badges suck. I had to get them replaced after every 2-3 carwashes cause they faded or peeled off.
now i get them at http://www.eurobadgez.com/index.html and hadn't replaced them in over a year and no fading at all

I don't recommend overlays you should get replacement roundels. The corners on mine peeled or the top separated and the bottom stuck. They usually only lasted about 3 months.

i have them also and they actually hold up well they dont bubble and they withstand carwashes and everything....i just order replacement roundels all carbon fiber with no stickers so those will last longer but the stickers are durable

They are a good option if you want something affordable and easy. If you are looking for full replacement roundels for the wheels, we carry those as well.

Full roundels are pretty friggin expensive for what they are though. Pretty sure you'll end up paying a good amount over $100 for enough for the wheels, hood, trunk, and steering wheel. And I've heard they're a huge PITA to replace, at least the hood and trunk ones. Very easy to scratch your paint while trying to get them out.
I've had the overlays for over a year now. They're not as nice as replacements for obvious reasons, but work great for what they are. I recently had one tear and was missing a piece on a wheel, but they come with enough to replace them, at least mine did. That being said the placement instructions sucked. Idk where I got mine from, but they were completely wrong so you kind of just have to wing it.

use CC to wedge between paint and the roundel, wrap MF towel around the screwdriver and pry it up. Simple as that... For the wheels, you'll need to use a suction cup...or a tiny flathead screwdriver. |
