Block Font

Toolboss · 05-26-2017, 07:27 PM

I really like the non-italic font of the M235i model emblem. On the back of the car's trunk lid. I have a 228i in the italic font but would like the 228i to be in the more modern looking block style emblem font.

Can I order the block font numbering emblems for my 228i? If so who sells them? I know the "2" digit is available from BMW since it is offered on the M235 emblem. But don't know about the "8" digit.

Thanks for the feedback

Try Bimmian.

Bimmian as well but be careful.. Those badge numbers went to absolute shit for some reason, look cheap and fall off too easily. I had to replace mine before selling the vehicle as they were stolen and was anything but impressed.

I suggest 3M aircraft adhesives such as their VHB foam tapes. Been using them on glass and metals for years with excellent performance...

Actually call Nate at IND. They do painted emblems and use OEM parts, they could help you source whatever and probably tape it up for you so spaced properly. i8 might have an 8 like you want.

I had the gloss black model logos until I decided to just remove them altogether. Cleaner look.
