How old is your car and what is the condition of the BMW roundel in your steering wheel?

Mine is a very early 06 model and the BMW roundel in my steering wheel looks 3x its age. Basically, the metal looking circle part looks like it's worn off. I've been searching for ways to replace this since it stares at me everytime I drive.

for less than 10 bucks you can get a new one to stick on over the crappy one

Believe it or not, the Metal Roundel Overlays for the steering wheel on eBay actually look REALLY GREAT. I bought one for 10 dollars and it is a really nice finishing touch for your interior. If your roundel is worn the metal overlays lok really great and you really can not tell it's an overlay.

+1, until I tried to remove it.

Luckily it only ended up with a slight scratch.
Now I've got a CF overlay roundel over it,
can't even tell the difference.

2004 looks new but my roundels on the outside have both peeled now. The plastic backing stays on the car but the decal has peeled off, now I just have a silver circle on my trunk.
