    V12 emblem from M760i.

    I saw the "V12" emblems on the new M760i and liked the font, that the letter/numbers are all separate (not connected between them), and the placement on the C-pillar.

    I got a pair for my (debadged before these emblems) 850 Ci.

    I got 2x 51148072989, which are the ones from the 'Excellence package'. They are chrome instead of Ceramium Grey.

    They are a nice looking emblem. Put them where you like, and roll with it.

    I like...but I don't know, seems a little pricey for each...I can be wrong about that.

    Yes! At the beginning of the thread I posted a link with a few photos I took.

    I like my cars debadged, as well as pretty much everything I use I prefer if it doesn't have visible branding or logos, but these V12 badges are my exception.

    I've had them on for about a week now and I do like the look. I think it also matches well with the aluminum/metal look of the window trim which I had vinyl wrapped.

    I'm in another city away from my car for a couple of weeks. I'll do a proper photoshoot when I'm back home.

    My plan is to take my car to the Radwood show on December 2nd in Anaheim, CA.

    I'm curious about the chrome window surrounds -- is that something you did/had done, or did your car come that way? I've never seen an 8er with chrome trim like that before. I'm also interested in seeing pictures of the whole car when you are able to post some.

    I had the window trim vinyl wrapped to look like aluminum.

    I got it done by guys who have paint corrected and wrapped whole Ferraris, Bentleys, Porsches, etc. so I was pretty confident that they'd be careful with my 8er.

    There is chrome wrap available but I chose to go for a more matte finish. It turned out well for the most part, but I am having it redone anyway because the guys who installed it didn't realize the rear window also rolls down and didn't get the wrap around (behind) so it sticks better.

    I also wrapped the plastic rear license plate bracket (trim between tail lights) in midnight blue metallic. It looks black, but when the sun hits it there is a hint of blue.

    I found a couple of photos so you can see the trim. Although I took those photos before I put the emblems on I hope it gives you an idea of what it looks like.

    I always liked the 8ers relatively chrome free look, but I also have to agree that this looks pretty sharp!

    I am a fan of the trim as well. Updates the look of the car.
