I measured my tatty 2007 Z4 2.0i S bonnet badge and it's 68mm, all the bonnet badges I have seen advertised are 82mm, am I doing something wrong? 😳

Nope, very difficult to get. I got a replacement top only from eBay which was the right size. OEM is like £47

That suggests it’s been changed once already. Should be 70mm. Interestingly, wheel centre caps are 68mm.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

I bought one on Amazon in September 2019 for just over £40 and it came from BMW Park Lane, although it is showing as out of stock at present. but Ebay might work.

Part Number is B51.14.7.044.207 if that helps.

When you do get one make sure you save the two self-tapping nuts from the back of the old one as the new part doesn't come with those.
