Looking to replace your BMW emblems but not sure of the sizes you need? Getting the right fit can be a hassle, especially with so many models out there. Here’s a quick guide to help you find the right sizes for your BMW emblems and badges.

Why Size Matters

Replacing an emblem on your BMW isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s crucial for ensuring a good fit and maintaining your vehicle’s integrity. A mismatched emblem can lead to issues with longevity and can even affect the overall look of your car.

General Guidelines for BMW Emblems

To help you get started, here are some general tips for measuring and selecting the right emblem sizes:

  • Measure Carefully: Use a tape measure to get the width and height of your existing emblem, if you have one. If it’s missing, measure the area where the emblem will be placed.
  • Check Compatibility: Some emblems are specific to different BMW models and years, so cross-reference measurements with your model’s specifications.
  • Consider the Shape: Different BMW models may have variations in emblem shapes (round, oval, etc.) so ensure your new emblem matches the original shape.

Size Chart for Popular BMW Emblems

Here are some common emblem sizes for popular BMW models:

  • BMW 1 Series: 3.0’’ diameter
  • BMW 3 Series: 82mm
  • BMW 5 Series: 84mm
  • BMW 7 Series: 90mm
  • BMW X Series: 75-90mm, depending on model
  • BMW M Series: Varies, typically larger than standard models

Make sure to confirm these sizes against your specific vehicle year and model.

Where to Buy

Once you know the sizes you need, check out reputable car part retailers or BMW’s official website for genuine parts. Online marketplaces can also offer a variety of options, but make sure to read reviews and ensure the fitment is correct before purchasing.
