This is a genuine BMW M3 Rear Badge, which is made to the same durability standards as the rest of your BMW. Many aftermarket emblems are available, which either do not stick well, or fade with the first sunny day they are exposed too. This genuine part installs in minutes and will make your E46 or E36 and really stand out. Let them think you dropped a lot more on your wheels then you actually did, but most of all, simply improve the appearance of your E46 rear with this colorful M-technic symbol.
