F10 M5 Boot/Trunk lid Emblem / Decal position -Help!!

[EUPremier]

Hi Folks,

<Have tried appropriate existing thread, no response, trying here again!>

I just bought a 2016 F10 M5 in Sapphire Black. The vehicle is missing its rear bootlid 'M5' decal.

I have the OEM replacement badge but, given that the vehicle is missing its original nameplate, I do not have a guide to mark-out the correct position using tape.

I have searched high and low but, the only information readily available is 'How to…' replace an existing badge.

No data exists detailing the number of mm the badge should be from the right edge of the bootlid or how far above the lower edge above the license plate it should be.

I am also unable to find a local vehicle to measure it!

If anyone could take accurate distances from their machine, it would be greatly appreciated. Or, if anyone has BMW info on it, that would be great.

Ideally, this is the type of info I'm after: https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=22838742

Hopefully someone can help..

Thanks in advance.

Hi M5Rick,

Thanks for your comment

Alas, no.

The original decal was removed leaving some paint damage. I have had the boot /trunk door & bumper professionally sprayed to fix this and a few other minor imperfections.

There is no trace of the original emblem now.

This is why I need the measurements.

You absolute legend! Thank you so much… Steel ruler and all… really appreciate the precision!

Love the picture at the gas station too.

It's now US$7.32 per gallon in Ireland! I try not to think about it as I watch the needle drop with each mile! Lol

If you're ever over this way, drop me a DM, I'll happily supply an unhealthy amount of Guinness as thanks!

Glad I could help! The gas station pic was to show the position of the badge on the whole car hahaha.

Wow, you guys have it rough! It's about $5 a gallon here in California currently.

Don't tempt me, I can't wait to get away from the house after working from home for so long.
