You would think they would at least take time to put them on level.

I think bottom center of the tailgate. Far too clean down there.

Yep, reverse engineering!

Back in olden days, who was the guy that had the 316tdi badge on his highly modified M3? One of the UUC crew???

I remember as a kid of about 5 years old, we went to Knott's Berry Farm (an amusement park with an old west theme) and my aunt bought me a sheriffs badge. I wore it with pride for most of the day…until I saw another kid with the same badge. I thought the whole day that I was ACTUALLY the sheriff, but seeing that other kid, I realized I had been suckered.

Fake badges will crush your soul.

Seeing a lot of fake 50th Anniversary roundels on eBay. One forum member even tried to sell a fake pair.

I have the "fake" 50th hubcaps on my E82. Got a set from Amazon and another from Ebay. Both sellers have since been shut down. The quality is actually excellent. Looks like BMW OE with the exception of the proportions of the M-color semi-circles and the larger Roundel, but to some these look better with less white areas.

They say made in "Italy" and have a BMW logo cast into the carrier with the metal 50th badge tabbed over the carrier at four points just like BMW OE badges from a few years ago. Since BMW NA doesn't stock the current 50th badges and I've not been able to find the p/n for the 68mm version on my E82, this was my best shot. I've had the "original" Motorsport logo on my bikes, shirts, and jackets for, well, 50-years. Why deny me the pleasure of buying new ones. BMW sold me the damn parka for $300 or so just a year ago. Why make the hubcaps so hard to acquire?

As it pertains to this thread, you adding “50 years of M” emblems to your car would make them fake badges anyway. So fake or real, you still belong here. So relax and enjoy!
