Need help with my M235i badge

Nexus313 · 10-18-2018, 02:11 PM

Hey guys, so my M235i came unbadged, I purchased a new badge (I wanted the matte black badge on my white m235i) but I want the placement to be close to stock as well..

Can anyone who has a badged M235i give me some rough measurements of the placement with pics? It would help out a bunch!

Thank you in advance.

Use painters tape and tape a square around the current badge

Check the Plastic Dip vids in youtube ...

OK guys - Let me clarify this a bit more...

My car is completely UNBADGED. Therefore I cannot tape a square around old badge.

I need measurements only to get my new badge in the correct location.

Thank you in advance.

Perhaps spend some time admiring the clean look of unbadged? I went to the effort (not hard) of removing mine. Prefer the clean and symmetrical look of badge-free.

I'll try and take some pictures and reference numbers on mine tonight.

holy wow, mine is from eBay but it's not huge like that one! It's actually normal sized haha

abdiel · 10-23-2018, 03:00 PM

you could find a high resolution picture of the badge area online and print it to scale to use as a template.

liebetrau88 · 10-24-2018, 07:06 PM

Here you go sir.

Maynard · 10-25-2018, 07:14 PM

make a cardboard 'L' (or a full cutout) that fits your badge, with enough overhang to extend beyond the trunk edges (or the lower ledge). Go to a dealership on a Sunday (no salespeople) and fit it to a new car w/ badge, then mark the reference points of edge of trunk, etc. You now have a homemade template like what they use at the factory. Take it home, tape it in place, and fit your new badge with it.

Or, if you are near a BMW body shop, bring them a 6 pack and ask if they have a factory template - probably a 5 minute deal with one of those.
