Bavarian Crest Emblem

My wife has been trying to find one. She's seen quite a few BMWs with this logo next to the license plate. It's just a plain Bavarian jell coated sticker or magnet. I guess they aren't readily available as I can't find them anywhere online.

If anyone has a source, thanks in advance.

In the 90s / 2000s the three bmw dealerships around south east PA all had their own Germanic shield emblems that they put on their cars. The practice stopped years ago. If I remember right, that emblem was from Ottos BMW

I guess I’ll have to get one custom made for her. Thanks, all!

Use a Google image search. Add the word "sticker" to it. See results on Amazon, Etsy, etc.

Why? Is she German? Had a car with this badge in the past and nostalgic? Or is it a glitter hunt?

Lots of cool enameled vintage stuff that could be attached to a grille or something. eBay or Etsy search.

doesnt seem like the badge in question is even the bavarian coat of arms

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Bavaria

I wonder why you would want to put a dealer logo on your car that has no other real meaning.

Correct! I have a buddy in West Chester that uses Otto's parts dept. Didn't know they stopped using the badges, but I'd still check with them.
I believe it was Devon BMW with a badge with a horse on it.

Just FYI, Ottos (BMW of West Chester now) stills offers the emblem (My neighbor's X3 has one on it). Give their parts department a ring and see if they'll send you one.
