M4 Grille Emblem Badge replacement link

Everybody and everywhere I went people told me I would have to purchase a new grille in order to replace the M4 emblem badge.

Somehow I found this on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/M4-Emblem-F...72.m2749.l2649

This item does not show for US ebay websites anywhere. I challenge somebody to look because I tried lol. Paid in AU (about $10 US) and it shipped out from China.

Makes me wonder just how many parts are available in different currencies/countries that ship out to the US but does not show on US listings anywhere.

The only difference is that these ones have a 3D sticker effect whereas the OEM one does not. Very small difference that doesn't matter to me.

It arrived this morning. I was expecting just the sticker for the part that attaches to the grille but to my surprise it's actually the entire piece. I removed my old one and clipped this one on.

I hope this helps somebody.

It’s not even close to the original emblem. However, if it fits, it might be better than buying a new grill. Post a pic of it on there.

How is not even close? It's the exact same thing except this one has a 3D sticker effect on it. The OEM ones are just chrome pieces taped on without the 3D effect.

I think these only work on aftermarket grilles because it clips on. Just checked my OEM ones and the emblem is part of the grille so you can't remove it but I know a lot of ppl have aftermarket grilles.

well for anybody who has an aftermarket grille and needs to replace their M4 emblem this is it.

Couldn't find this anywhere else. US listing ebay, Amazon, offerup, facebook, etc....

Just to make sure if you missed this, but this will ONLY work on aftermarket grilles.

My OEM grille does not allow me to remove the clip, it is literally bonded onto the slots.

Also I ordered these on the 2nd this month and it arrived today so about 9 days total. Ebay showed me a crazy ETA as well but it arrived a lot faster than I expected.

Glad I could help!!

My ///M badge was delivered today. I tried to install it on my aftermarket ///M stripe carbon kidneys and it would not fit. I will have to try to make it work.

Definitely happy w/ this purchase!!!!

Thank you,

I think found where these are being ordered from. Pictures on listing do not show emblem though.
