The Rear Badge for E46 & F80 M3 introduces a small detail with real meaning behind it. This Genuine BMW 50th Anniversary Heritage emblem replaces the standard badge with a design shaped around BMW M’s early identity. The colours that defined the start of BMW Motorsport—blue for the brand itself and red for racing—return here with the deeper tone that evolved from the original violet. It is subtle, but anyone who knows the story will recognise it instantly.

This emblem keeps the same diameter as the factory rear badge, making installation straightforward thanks to the OEM adhesive backing. Once fitted, it holds its finish through heat, rain, and changing seasons, giving owners a refined way to refresh the look of their M3 without drifting away from authentic BMW parts. It is a small upgrade, yet it ties the car to an important chapter of BMW history.

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.

  • Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content.  Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
  • Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
  • Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
  • Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
