    They are damn close if they aren't OEM. Turner has always sold me good stuff.

      pretty sure BMW is making them out of cheap plastic now anyway. Old ones were metal.

        I'm assuming you read. In case you didn't... that won't fit the e30 trunk. But might as well for your hood.

                    they are original. when they have a bmw part number on their listing, it means its real i believe.

                      Yeah, they are all plastic and fit like shit on 90% of cars I've installed them on. I've been running Alpina badges because they fit properly.. I guess I'll just paint and re-clear my old ones..

                      I think the dealers are still charging $35 for them too, like they were doing when prices skyrocketed on the metal ones. They didnt drop the price a bit... Turner's price is the nicest I've seen for an aftermarket supplier. I think wholesale cost where I work is ~$15ish each. Still not worth it for plastic in my opinion, but oh well. End rant... now.

                        maybe now that the E30 is in the "archive" section we'll get some metal love.. of course they'll probably cost four times as much as they used to.
