The roundel on my key FOB fell off yesterday...not sure where....

At some point I will make a visit to the dealer for somehting, however, I don't want to make a special trip just for this. My search for a replacement roundel did not go well, but I am wondering if the logos on valve stem covers are the same size? that would be too easy! example: http://cgi.ebay.ca/4-Chrome-BMW-Stem-Valve-Caps-in-excellent-condition_W0QQitemZ180343753776QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090406?IMSfp=TL090406127001r563

Thoughts?

Mine fell off a while ago too...looks really ugly without it! I switched to my other set of keys but I'll be interested to see what replacement options are for the roundel.

It's worth a shot, the stem caps are only like $5.
But your are probably right, that would be WAY too easy.
Post results if you try it

EDIT: I just checked my stem caps and they look a little smaller, maybe you could buy a used FOB off of eBay and pry the logo off that one...
