Real shot in the dark here:

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to do some engineering work in the Spartansburg facility for my job. During a bit of spare time I had I took a quick look at the PDC and took a walk through the Zentrum (this is the small BMW museum there for those who do not know).

In their gift shop, they had the usual hats, travel mugs, shirts etc. but there was one thing that caught my eye. On display by the entrance to the gift shop was a raised display plaque that had 4 or 5 different BMW roundels as they had evolved since BMW began. It gave short blurb about each, and how it had changed. I had the spot on my new house picked out where I would be mounting that since it would be a real nice conversation piece, and had a good bit of history on it.

Unfortunately, when i asked the associate how much it was, she replied "Oh, I'm sorry, that's not for sale. We used to sell them, but we don't anymore"

So my question is, does anyone have one of these and would be willing to part with it? Or does anyone know if it is possible to get one of these somewhere else?

Ill see if i can find a pic and post it, but I haven't had any luck so far.
