50th Anniversary Heritage Rondel’s- Almost

I tried the Heritage rondel emblems for my 22 Marina Bay Blue X3 M. They were a bit too flashy for my taste. I tried a different set that swapped the white for black and I like them. I’m sure they won’t be to everyone’s liking but that’s OK. To each his/her own 😁

Yes.
Do they go over the rounders or do they replace the roundels…?

Meaning they have to be removed first, correct?

They are silicon covers for the rondels. They come off as I had to reset a couple to get them perfect.

I got the ones you linked me from Etsy before, are these more rounded or still quite flat?

Check the description. If it says for “flat surfaces only” they won’t contour to the rondel. Tried them and they don’t stick around the edges.

I've thought the 50 year emblems just look incomplete with the white. I love the way these look.

I can appreciate the heritage of this emblem but I don't understand why you'd want it on a modern vehicle. Too busy for my taste.

The BMW 50th Anniversary Classic M roundels will be released in June 2022 for retrofit on older BMW models. If you ordered a new 2022 BMW ///M or ///M-Sport car after March 22 they might come with BMW 50th Anniversary Classic M roundels installed.

Whether the BMW 50th Anniversary Classic M roundels will look good on your car depends on the exterior paint color and your wheel finish.

I will add these to my Estoril Blue 2015 F30 335i M-Sport, since they will look OK. If you have a white, black, light blue, and red BMW they should look nice. Any thing else, look for custom BMW roundel options from IND and elsewhere.

For my BMW Interlagos Blue E9X M3, I will see if I can get the BMW 50th Anniversary Classic M roundels painted with a black (instead of white background). IND is working to get the BMW 50th Anniversary Classic M roundels and they have a great paint shop. The OP showed how much better the BMW 50th Anniversary Classic M roundels with a black background look on dark blue cars.

The BMW 50th Anniversary Classic M roundels might not look good on the wheel center caps depending on the wheel finish (black, gunmetal, polished silver), so you need a different roundel style option vs. the hood/trunk.

There are 3rd-Party BMW Classic M roundels that are made overseas that are very nice, and are unrelated to the 50th Anniversary of ///M. Some have the tri-color ///M half circles surrounded by chrome highlights (like the standard BMW emblem). Then you have the white background replaced with black or dark blue. I saw some full roundels like this on eBay, but they were made in Russia (not stickers or applique).

The Classic ///M roundel with black background looks so nice on the steering wheel/air bag. But the BMW 50th Anniversary Classic M roundels won't have an option to retrofit to the airbag, since it is adhered to the airbag module. $$$$


Cheers

I believe it’s an option for all orders after 3/22 but it won’t come without checking the option.

It's actually the other way around. Heritage is the default right now.

Is it a zero dollar option to get original rondels?

Yes, it is a zero cost option to select the original roundels instead of the standard (for M cars) 50th anniversary ones.
