Just wondering if anyone has used, or knows where to purchase the emblem on the bottom left of this picture:
I think it would be interesting on an M car.
None
I'm sure it would be pretty rare. Haha, for some reason all I see when I see the bottom left roundel is that being placed on an M1 or 8 series. :p
I'd rock some vintage motorsport roundels like that. I always thought that one looked cool...
Yeah that would definitely be sweet on a M or Club Sport car. I think you would have to make them yourself, you can probably find those for other cars but I doubt they would have the same sized roundell as a E36.

Cris(fjord7302), a member here has those roundels on his 2002.
Make them on a computer and slap them on a spare roundel.
I want to buy your Nikon 80-200mm F/2.8 AF-D (Two-Ring) lens! Let me know.

I have one of those, its not a roundel its a vintage patch like to iron on a shirt or something. Its neat.

That roundel is pretty neat lookin
it would only look good on 25+ year old BMWs, like 2002 or 635, etc...
I am pretty sure a guy on R3vlimited.com is making overlays in this fashion.
There was one of those stickers in the M-Bus
any more pics of the M bus?
As always you can find BMW Grills, BMW Lighting, and BMW Accessories and Chrome Bulbs at Stealth Auto.
I bet it would look dope on an 8!

I believe someone at R3vlimited.com (e30 site) makes these
"The BMW roundel, one of the world's most recognized and revered commercial symbols, celebrates its 90th anniversary this month.
In July 1917 Franz Josef Popp registered the name Bayerische Motoren Werke, thus distancing the new company from the Rapp Motorenwerke. This was a necessary move if the new company was to find new clients and prosper. The name was registered but as yet there was no new logo...
It was on 5 October 1917 that the BMW trademark was registered with the Imperial Trade Mark Roll under No. 221388. It featured the circular design of the Rapp logo but with the letters BMW at the top of the outer ring. The inner featured quadrants in the Bavarian Free State colors of blue and white - but in the opposed order - as it was illegal to use national symbols in a commercial trademark.
The design was not in any way connected with aircraft engines or propellers. The idea that the blue and white had anything to do with spinning propellers comes from a 1929 advertisement, which featured aircraft with the image of the Roundel in the rotating propellers. This advertisement came at the beginning of the Great Depression, which coincided with BMW acquiring the license to build Pratt & Whitney radial aircraft engines. The advertising department used the roundel and BMW heritage in an attempt to increase sales of the new radial motors.
The idea of the spinning propellers was given greater credence in an article by Wilhelm Farrenkopf in a BMW journal of 1942. This also featured an image of an aircraft with a spinning roundel. These were powerful images and the legend of the spinning propeller was born.
The logo was registered on 5 October but it was in limited use prior to this date. On 1 October 1917 Franz Josef Popp was given a certificate confirming"

There's some vendor that makes these. Some guy on here with a red E34 M5 on some crazy wheels has them, real nice ones too--not a sticker. I sent him a PM and he told me he got them from CAtuned. When I contacted them they said they didn't have any in stock but that they'd get some from the vendor. To make a long story short, I had to have my money refunded because this vendor never sent them out. That's as far as I got trying to find them.
If you manage to get some please tell me where you did because I really want them too.
Methinks people should read the whole thread... lol
