I'm not sure if there's a thread on this but think it would be a good idea to help new members not get fisted on ebay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-3-6-7-SER ... 2321c460e0

I ordered 10 of these on Monday. 89p + vat each from the dealers. The vendor wants £12.84 for one delivered.

whatabargain sells bmw emblems on ebay and to the uneducated person ( me ) I thought it was reasonable to pay 4 or 5 quid and get a steel/decent emblem but i was offended at the flimsy plastic stick on one that arrived

in saying that when i worded my disgust i was sent one of the 12 pound high quality ones and it was fine.

be carefull if buying emblems, spend the extra cash, its worth it.

they are for preface bumpers to hold on the rubbing strips ("rubber inserts").

I believe they are. Suggest you check realoem diagrams to confirm. I bought ten as I wanted them as spares but I think you'd probably get away with ten to cover both bumpers.

I can confirm the part number when I pick them up.

The badges on eBay that say "genuine" are not so.

I bought two at 12 quid each. When they arrived they felt cheaper than the Bruv carbon effect badge's I took off.

So ordered two from a BMW dealership and there is a massive difference in quality.

I was looking for some trim clip rivets earlier and came across one auction for ONE at about £40. I didn't buy it. :P
