I purchase just the sticker from them to cover the old faded one. Or you can purchase the whole badge.

I know a lot of companies out there selling aftermarket dress up stuff for BMWs and I've never seen a decal like that. If it were me I would of course Google it with something like, "bmw motorsports decal" or "M3 Decal / M5 Decal" and see what comes up.
Hard to find stuff like this turns up on eBay once in awhile too.
Wished I could be of more help.

The stripe on the blue car is airbrushed/painted on the splitter.
I looked for it everywhere, didnt find it. So i resorted to paying a graphic company $30 and they custome made me a sticker. Look for companies that do neon signs or signs/stickers in your area, they can make you one. :lightbulb:

Guys,
This is painted on, not a decal. I have the original iteration of it on my 2001, put on by its designer, Lauren Okamura. Lauren is an architect here in Honolulu, and I wound up buying his car. He told me it took him a lot of time to get the proportions just right, and then he had a local shop paint it on the splitter. I still have the invoice from Cosmic Custom Airbrush, showing that Lauren paid $83.20 to have it painted on in 2001. It was such a success that he had another one made for his friend from the Pacific Northwest, Atomic80. Anyway, that's the true history of this ///M insignia, and incidentaly, it still looks great today after four years on my [Lauren's]car.

I went with a vinyl decal for two reasons, easy to apply and easily removable if/when you get tired of it. And it looks great,see...

Hey I know a Loren Okamura, but I dont think its the same guy because I dont think he's an architect, and I dont think he ever had an M5....

Lorin isn't an architect...he works at a Newspaper facility. I'm not sure what he does though. He currently drives a S55 these days.
FYI, the tri-colors are painted but I believe the outer silver pinstripes are thin vinyl stickers. Mine looked great just before I sold it to Jon. I had it covered with 3M clear bra material too.
