M fender emblems

Anyone has any links to where I can buy some OEM quality fender M badges? I bought some off of ebay when I got the car in May 2019 but they have started to fade

eBay is a great place to buy OEM parts....

But make sure you buy "OEM" BMW parts. A lot of BMW dealers advertise on eBay, because it's a great medium for advertising their parts. I've recently purchased an Mperformance keyfob cover, M Valve stem caps from a dealer in NJ.

With that said though, I'm not sure there is a black emblem set for our cars yet.... at least not through BMW. I haven't seen any.

buy from China? Well... it's hit or miss. Usually miss if you wait long enough as you've seen. You could always have them powdercoated, electroplated, ionized, or even plasti-dipped for a unique effect.

Yeah and that's the problem that oem is not black. The one i have bought is from eBay and obviously the color didn't hold up on the stripes.

I guess buying oem and then wrapping the M in black would be an option.

why not symetrical?

M branding and badges are ///M and never M///
