Accuracy of the Roundels from W&N

[tferrer]

Looking at options for Roundels for factory part # 00095808114 for the 02 Touring.

Anyone have experience with the color accuracy on these from BMW but sold through W&N? I've heard comments anecdotally but wanted to confirm one way or the other.

That looks like one of new ones from BMW which should be available at your local dealership.

And the color accuracy?

You want a raised aluminum roundel with chrome base plate. You can buy repop raised aluminum roundels, but the one pictured isn’t.

For the most part, the roundel colors look pretty good. It was the c-pillar roundels that came out in a purplish color. They also didn’t fit correctly.

What is the best source for the front roundel and c pillar roundels?

 

[adawil2002]

I bought my front & rear from Jaymic a couple of years ago. C-pillar roundels are the tough ones to find. I bought raised letter ones from a forum member many years ago.

@Markos -The Tourings Roundels are both aluminum and the part number is the same as those at W&N (and ostensibly from BMW?). The front and rear are the same and both look original to the car for sure. Sounds like a a diversion between the E9 and e10. Regardless, sounds like the colors are OK on the front and rear badges. Thanks for the info!

 

[adawil2002]

Yes, the color of the new slightly raised Roundels from W&N, Jaymic & BMW Dealerships are are all proper Bavarian Blue.

if you can't find good ones, someone in your area should be doing cloisonné restoration and it should be a no brainer for them to restore one correctly. Some of these people that do this kind of work are very gifted. I once found a woman that does paper restoration for a rare serigraph I bought

I bought some new ones. On the Touring they are the same part for both front and rear. No baseplates. I don't know if that differs from a normal 02 roundie.

I missed the “for the 02 touring” comment in your first sentence. Must have been biased by your post in the e9 section of the e9 forum.

Sorry, @Markos !

I am repainting my car. Taking off the front roundel one of the posts broke off mid-way down. I have two questions

1- Should I try to repair the sheared off post, and how. JB weld did not work
2-Is it better to just buy a new one, and best source to purchase. I see from this post Art.-No. A51145480181 from WM but they also have Art.-No. A51145081747


Pictures attached. You can see that it is not in the best shape

[adawil2002]

Art.-No. A51145081747 is the correct Roundel.

How is the trunk Roundel?

Now that I look at my trunk Roundel it could proably use updateing. I am assuming it is part number A51141872328? Walloth also has A51145480181

And there is supposed to be a gasket under the rear roundel base on E9s, as discussed here ad nauseum. Good luck finding one.

 

[adawil2002]

Maybe it was @Stan who remade batch rear Roundel base gaskets, I recall buying one or two.

I have worked with a 3D-Printing Company to remake the rear Roundel curved base out of brass & can be chromed. I wanted to eventually have it "printed" in stainless steel which has not happened yet.

Also worked out a 3D-Printed E9/E24 Wiper Motor Cover which is a hard shell as soft rubber & equally waterproof.
