    At one time i had 6 sets of Ronals (the original ACT German versions from the early 2000's), but i hated the big black RONAL and ACT badges that came on the center cap.

    I went to the dealer and bought some replacement Roundel Emblems ( 70mm size, part # 36 13 1 181 079) to use in place of the RONAL or ACT badge.

    So what i did was completely remove the big black RONAL (or ACT) badge from the black snap-in insert piece, cleaned off any remaining adhesive, then i roughed up the flat surface of the insert. Then i used thick 3M double-sided tape to adhere the Roundel emblem to the flat face of the insert.

    Most people seem to just stick the BMW emblem OVER the Ronal or ACT badge but that sticks too far out and it looks funky. My method recesses it into the center cap and looks more OEM.

        bringing this thread back to life - will any average 74mm center cap fit here (with 70mm emblems), or do i need to try and source a ronal specific center cap?
