Reproduction M decals for front and rear

Post by 524tdAviator »

Hello,

I am making a bunch of properly sized and angled ///M stickers specifically for our E28 M5s. My front and rears are original and faded. I purchased the commonly available eBay stickers but they are of the wrong size and wrong angle, even though they said they were for the E28 M5. I took meticulous measurements of each sticker's width, height, and angle and redesigned them in Adobe Illustrator. What's interesting is the original stickers are not proportionate, but do maintain the same parallelogram angle.

I am working with a local decal maker to make durable decals that will withstand UV. I'll let everyone know when they're done! Please reply if you're interested so I can get a rough idea of how many to print. Pricing should be very cheap (I'm estimating $10), and shipping free since they are just decals and can be shipped with USPS standard letter stamps.

That's a good deal.

I made a set out of a roll of BMW ///M vinyl I bought off Amazon. A little time and fun at the kitchen table and I had plenty left over to refinish the M-Tech steering wheel badge.

Interested in a set for the rear trunk lid.
I am assuming that the logos are the same for both the M5 and M535i; I will have to do a little research.

I’ll take a set of rear stripes! I was just about to order a set off eBay but would rather support a member!

I’m curious, would you consider doing them for the steering wheel badge as well offer as a package?

If you mean the little thing on the bottom rung on the steering wheel, they're still available from BMW for a reasonable price.

:ohyeah: Anyone get any decals yet ?
If the OP has made them I would easily find the need for 3 sets (front and back)

A little update on the decals. I made a run of 50. The rears were spot on accurate in dimension but I was not happy with the front sticker fitment. I'm in the process of redoing the front (angle was just barely off) and will have them printed again. So sorry for the delay! Please give me 3 weeks and I will contact everyone who expressed interest.
