Would you buy fake aftershave or perfume and expect it to smell like the genuine article? Would you buy a fake watch and expect it to keep time like an original watch? The answer to both of these questions is probably not. However, the same doesn't seem to apply to some BMW owners who buy fake BMW badges and expect them to look and last like a genuine badge would.
Unfortunately, there is a large market for fake BMW badges (or replicas as some call them in an attempt to make them appear...
•How to Recognise Quality Replacement BMW Floor Mats
Before too long, the floor mats in your BMW will need to be replaced. Normal day to day wear and tear will take its toll, causing worn patches or even holes. Usually, the drivers mat is the first to go and often, it is the only mat to show signs of wear. It is extremely rare to find a replacement for the drivers mat only so the likelihood is that you will have to buy a full set of new mats.
It pays to buy quality mats. There are various types of mats on the market, but many of them are...
•How to Replace BMW Wheel Badges
The badges in the centre of BMW wheels have a hard life being so close to the road surface. After a time, they will start to look tired. The clear surface lacquer may start to lift and the badges will need replacing from time to time.
Depending upon the wheels that are fitted, the badges most often are stuck to a plastic centre cap which is pushed into the centre of the wheel. This cap needs to be removed in order to make it easier to detach the badge from the cap.
If the wheel is off the...
•How to Replace a BMW Bonnet or Boot Badge
Anyone who has owned a BMW for any length of time will know that the round BMW bonnet and boot badges do need replacing from time to time. Several things can happen to the badges. Most commonly, the lacquer starts to peel or blister making the badge look very untidy.
To replace the badge, it is useful to know how it attaches They mostly fit in one of two ways. The vast majority of them have two prongs on the back. One is at the 3 o'clock position and the other is at the 9 o'clock...
•How to Remove a BMW Gear Knob
The question I have been asked most consistently by my customers over the years is "how do I remove my original BMW gear knob?".
The question is almost always asked about original BMW gear knobs for manual transmission BMWs made from 1982 up to the present date. These models all have gear knobs with the same type of fitting.
Despite what many think, original BMW gear knobs are not screwed on or glued on. They are all a simple push on fit. If your old BMW gear knob is glued on, then the...
•BMW Blinds Versus Window Tinting
The summer is almost here again and its now the time that BMW owners are starting to think about keeping their little ones cool in the back of their BMW. Whilst air conditioning does this quite well, there is still the issue of how to prevent the harmful UV rays and heat caused by bright sunlight from harming our small passengers.
In the past, it was common to have BMW rear windows tinted by a specialist tinting company. Aftermarket tinting of windows has always been a potential problem if...
•BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M - SUVs with M Power? Surely Not!
BMW X5 M and BMW X6 M - SUVs with M Power? Surely Not! At my visit to the last Frankfurt Motorshow, I was able to view the new X5M and X6M up close. The standard X5 and X6 are both stunning off-roaders but when BMW have worked their magic on them and produced an M version, they really are something special.
Some purists are asking why BMW have produced an M version of an SUV. Their opinion is that the M treatment should be used only to produce road going racers like the original E30 M3....
•BMW Chrome Accessories - The Truth
Similar to M badges, there are many myths surrounding chrome accessories for BMWs. Probably the most common myth is that a product described as chrome is made from metal.
Chrome accessories can be categorised into four main groups:
* Chrome on metal
* Chrome on plastic
* Metal
* Painted plastic
Chrome on metal is what most believe chrome to be. This is where a metal substrate or base is plated with chrome. However, a large number of chrome accessories do not fall into this group.
Today,...
•BMW M-Tec Badges - A Few Myths Dispelled
The market is flooded with replica BMW accessories bearing the M-Tec logo. Sometimes it is difficult to tell which are originals and which are copies. This is especially true for M-Tec boot and grille badges.
Probably the products most copied are M-Tec boot and grille badges. Such replica badges are effectively illegal counterfeits as they are using the M trademark without authorisation. This has led to the circulation of numerous misconceptions about what is and is not original BMW....
