The cloisonné ones tend to crack/chip when installed, and new ones are purple too!
I know. One of mine is chipped. I've seen the new ones and they are the wrong blue. That's why I'd like the aluminum painted roundels. :wink:
Why not repaint yours?
Mine are cloisonné, want the raised letters so they match the front and rear on Athena. The pictures are not from my car.
not extremely easy to find, but not as rare as good condition ennamel ones
new ones from bmw are literally rubbish, as colour and aspect does not match
i have hoarded some during these last six years, but wont sell them
if you are interested i can try to get a pair
send me a mail

deQuincey - did you post here a while ago about someone in Europe who repaints these?

Think 2002...
When I bought my coupe, it came with a mismatched set: cloisonné on the left and raised letter on the right. I was able to procure another mint cloisonné roundel. When I went to replace the raised letter roundel, I was surprised to find that the posts were too short to secure from the back/inside (the roundel was siliconed to the base). Appears it is the rear badge from a round-taillight 2002. Just the right size, though you'd have to jerry-rig the installation as my po did. So how badly do you want the raised letter look?

Thanks Larry, I think they'd look better than the chipped cloisonné one I have on the passenger side. Interesting they are the same size as the '02 round tail roundel. One of my C pillar ones is double sided taped on from what I can tell. I have an extra rear '02 one that I repainted when I did Vern's front and rear.
C-pillar roundel
What years were the cloisonné used? What years were the raised letter ones used?

Pillar badges
Computer says I have two but can only find one ( although there are two bases!)
PM me with an offer if you are intrested. Bare in mind I am in the UK so shipping costs could be a factor.
