Is it an original ??

[BATTS91]

I notice today on my old bonnet the badge was minty fresh . But whats is the diffrence between original badges and bmw replacements ?

The one i have has a plastic silver back with bmw part numbers

[Brianmoooore]

If it's plastic, it's already a replacement. All original E30 badges are enamelled metal.

does that clock thingy say 07 ?

[BATTS91]

Yeah the clock thing is pointing at 7 .

Ahh i knew there was a big big difference its definatly plastic and seems to have genuine bmw marks
Thanks brian a‘a

[Alex]

either side of the pointer ?

The clock bit is the month i believe

[kam-325i]

Numbers on the Outside are months, numbers besides the arrow are year..

[BATTS91]

Actually to be precise it points inbetween 6/7 and a 0 one side of the arrow and a 7 the other

part was moulded june/july 2007

[BATTS91]

Ahhh ive seen those before on things ,all becomes clear now thanks guys

[jonny323i]

are the chrome bits raised they are alot of moulded copies out there as i found out when i bought what was supposed to be a genuine badge and it was terrible. A genuine bmw badge should have the chrome bits raised either on an enamel one or the replacement plastic one

the one on the front of mine says 3/87 sweet metal and enamal

[BATTS91]

Yeah the chrome on the front feels slightly raised , atleast one of the previous owners didnt mine shelling out cash ,unlike the guy i got te ol girl off of
