Out of luck I'm afraid, I think they were binned in the summer when I went back to the OEM colours - sorry  :(

Yup - UK seller on Flea-Bay.

But be aware, that its not real carbon, just printed colour to look carbon, and they fade rapidly in the sunshine & soon become milky coloured... suggest you save the money.
I also had some Blue carbon effect items, and they faded to bugger all too.

Hey, Toonarmy...

I just found a standard BMW 78mm trunk badge in my collection of New X5 goodies & spares box...

Just checked the fit on my own X5, & can even pop a strip of 3M tape on it for you.. £10 paypal.
that's what it cost me on e-bay about a year ago as the invoice was in the packet still.

It's not carbon effect... but is the standard Blue/White if you want it.
Regards
Grant B

OK Riggie,

See if Toonarmy comes back on this.... he's regularly on the forum, probably at work right now.

Sorry, meant to ask, does this fit an E70?

No Idea if it fits an E70...
is the badge holder 78mm diameter ?
if so... then YES.
this badge will require a Silver mounting ala the E53 trunk badge, as this badge does not have a silver circumference edge like the front badges do... but looks good in a silver chromed mount.
