Can you order a replacement sticker for the M badge on the kidney grill?

I know you can order a replacement of the entire badge itself from your dealer, however, does anyone know if you can order just a replacement sticker without having to order the entire badge itself? I may just use krazy glue to tack the sticker down because a small edge of the sticker is already starting to lift.

Thanks in advance!

If the small edge of the sticker is coming off it will disappear the next time you go through a car wash. I debadged my M3 (outside) and it looks good to me.

Honestly, that should be covered under the warranty.

What's interesting is that I noticed that the edge of the sticker was slightly lifted as I was washing the car myself. I didn't use any high pressure water hoses either.

I kind of like the badge as puts a little bit of color in contrast to my BSM paint.

I'm going to ask about it at the dealership this weekend after I have this genius appointment they've emailing me to do. Thanks

I got the performance grills installed at port and that's three years warranty alone. Not sure if it's under the 4yr 50k warranty on stock grill

Just change out the entire insert to delete the badge altogether like a good girl. And then tell everyone you did it so i can watch them all melt down on you. "What? You took an M badge off an M car? The World is going to stop turning now!". Do it, do it!

Dude, peters ass is clean, but I always thought the front came from the same mold. Never checked. I'm pissed, no way in hell have I overlooked this and driven with a badge this long for no reason.

Yeah, well try being a female, driving a stick, in an AY car, and no extra comments needed. They never get to the badge before their throats are sore.

Digging up the most recent post with this issue - the "4" fell off of my kidney grill badge and went unnoticed for some time. I was just told by my service guy that the official fix is ordering a new grill - $392. This seems like a ridiculous fix for a $0.50 piece of plastic attached by double-sided tape.

Does anywhere sell just the badge?
