blacked-out (not CF) roundels for the side markers?

does anyone one know if any one makes these? i don't want the stick-on overlay ones. european auto source has all but the side markers, has anyone had any luck finding the replacement for the side markers?

Since the sidemarker is so larger and I think specific to the Z4, no one has bothered to make that specific roundel in black/white, cf/white, etc. I think your only option would be to use the overlays or keep checking eBay for the right diameter roundel

Had a quick look, didn't see any either....
You could try a msg to one of the vendors doing CF like this one
ebay roundels
Also just re-read your OP.
If EAS has all but the sides.....
Just get 2 extra trunk emblems; they're the same size.
All you'll need to do is clip the pins off the back, because they fasten with 3m trim tape.

interesting.... RealOEM.com shows the side marker emblems at 82mm, but give no dimensions for the trunk emblem. i my give your suggestion a shot. any idea how the side emblems are currently held on? tape/glue? and for that matter, the hood and trunk? i'm just trying to gauge how big of a PITA this is, and if it is worth it. TIA.

Very easy on the side markers. Rotate clockwise to remove.
Use a sharp blade and circle around at the seam between the emblem and clear cover. Its held on by double stick tape, I used a razor blade.

The trunk emblem I have not changed but its the same size 82mm.

WHen you search for emblems include worldwide search, Germany adds some better options.
Also keep looking till what you want pops up.


It took me a while to find two round CF M logos to replace the roundels on the sides.

Is 40$ normal for a front/rear roundel? I only found those and some really bad steering wheel ones for like 20$. Ridiculous pricing thats like 100$ + some change for a full set not including wheels?
