Help..Roundel Overlays from Bimmian.com!!!
I think I'm going to be getting a "DYNAMIC CARBON
Black + Silver" roundel kit from www.bimmian.com. and I just thought I'd get some of your ideas before I pick the style for the roundel kit and it seems like the trunk's roundel is bigger than the front. Anyone know the sticker come with the kit fit perfectly? Also is the sidemaker's roundel the same as as front? |

the kit comes complete with stickers to cover all of the roundels on the car (including: wheel centers; steering wheel; hood; trunk; and side markers). It even includes some extra of some sizes. The size of the stickers is perfect. The difficult part is getting the correct placement when installing them.
One word of caution: less than a year after installing the kit on my car, using the precise intructions they reccommended, the stickers were pealing and losing their color. They lasted for about 6 monthes, looking great during that time, then they started pealing and fading.

where do you get the replacement roundels that are the correct size. The side marker roundels are a size unique to the Z4 and hard to find.

If you have peeling issues it most likely comes from installation. I use a razor blade and try never to touch the sticky side of the sticker with my fingers. Also you must clean the roundel with rubbing alcohol to promote good adhesion. On my M5 the nose roundel is cracking after three years from heat/sunlight, etc. and the stickers still look good. All of the carbon roundels I've seen look very resiny and "thick", clunky compared to a stock roundel. With Bimmian's stickers the roundels look stock in quality, just a different style. azndavid85, if you want to get together and check out the various stickers on my cars, I'm in Orange. I can even show you how to apply them as I have to replace a couple on my wife's Touring (due to the drifting). |
