Questions

Product use
Can I use MBLEM on public roads?
MBLEM is supplied for show, exhibition, private-land and off-road use. It isn't represented or approved by MBLEM for use on public roads in Great Britain, and we don't sell it as a road-use accessory.
UK rules on vehicle lighting and construction can restrict illuminated, animated or digital displays on road-going vehicles. If you fit MBLEM to a vehicle, you're responsible for making sure its installation and use comply with the laws that apply to your vehicle and location.
Where can I use MBLEM?
MBLEM is designed for show and display: car shows and exhibitions, private events, meets held on private land, garages and studios, detail studios and showrooms, private driveways and property, and off-road use on private land.
Check the rules of the event, venue or landowner before you switch it on. MBLEM isn't represented or approved by us for use on public roads in Great Britain.
Can I install it on a show car?
Yes. That's exactly what MBLEM is designed for: show cars, exhibition vehicles and cars on display at private events.
Check your event's rules on illuminated displays before the day, and have MBLEM fitted by a qualified installer. If you fit MBLEM to a vehicle, tell your insurer about the modification.
Does MBLEM guarantee road legality?
No. We don't guarantee or claim that MBLEM can be used lawfully on a road-going vehicle, and it isn't represented or approved by us for use on public roads in Great Britain.
Rules on vehicle lighting and construction can restrict illuminated, coloured, flashing, animated or digital displays, and they can differ in Northern Ireland and in other countries. DVSA guidance says enforcement action can be taken even when a light is switched off at the time.
If you fit MBLEM to a vehicle, you're responsible for making sure its installation and use comply with the laws that apply to your vehicle and location. We can't give legal advice.
Why do I confirm the intended use before checkout?
So we're both clear about what you're buying. Before you pay, you confirm that you understand MBLEM is supplied for show, exhibition, private-land and off-road use and isn't represented as approved for use on public roads in Great Britain.
We record that confirmation with a reference that's attached to your order. The record doesn't include your name or email address, and it doesn't affect your statutory rights.
Do I need to tell my insurer?
Yes, if you fit MBLEM to a vehicle. It replaces the rear badge and is wired into the vehicle's 12 V electrics, so it counts as a modification. Tell your insurer about it.
Sizes and fit
Is there more than one size?
No. MBLEM comes in one universal size: 82 mm.
It's the product supplied for every BMW model in our compatibility range, including cars whose factory badge is slightly smaller. In stock at £199.99. Orders are dispatched within 7 days of purchase
Check your model is in the range before you order.
Will it fit my BMW?
Use the fit checker to confirm your model is in our compatibility range. MBLEM is for the rear badge only, and there's no size to choose: the one 82 mm unit is supplied for every model in the range.
On some models the badge is also the boot release or houses the reversing camera, and we don't offer MBLEM for those at launch.
Does it fit the bonnet?
No. MBLEM is for the rear badge only, on the boot lid or tailgate. We don't offer it for the bonnet.
Orders and dispatch
When will my order be dispatched?
In stock. Orders are dispatched within 7 days of purchase
The checkout shows the dispatch time before you pay. If anything changes, we'll email you, and you can cancel for a full refund at any time before your order is dispatched.
Designs and the app
Can I change designs?
Yes, from your phone. You choose a design in a companion app, which is made by a third party, and send it to the badge.
Only change designs when the vehicle is stationary with the engine off. Never use a phone while driving.
Can I use animations?
Yes. MBLEM shows still images and animations, and the companion app has a library of animated and still designs to choose from.
Display them in show, exhibition, private-land and off-road settings. Only display artwork you own or have permission to use. Don't display other brands' logos.
Which app does it use, and do I need an account?
MBLEM works with a companion app that's made and run by a third party, not by MBLEM. The app is used under its own terms, and MBLEM can't guarantee it will stay available.
Can I use my own pictures?
We haven't confirmed that yet, so we don't promise it. What we can confirm is a library of animated and still designs to choose from.
Only display artwork you own or have permission to use. Don't display other brands' logos.
Fitting
Can I install it myself?
We recommend a qualified installer. MBLEM is wired into your vehicle's 12 V electrics, and wrong wiring can drain your battery or damage electrical systems. Fitting isn't included in the price.
Our installation page shows what fitting involves, but we don't publish DIY wiring steps.
Delivery and returns
Where do you deliver?
Worldwide shipping is included in £199.99 for destinations available at checkout. Delivery times vary by destination; local import duties or taxes may apply.
Can I return it?
Yes. You have a legal right to cancel within 14 days of the day you receive it, without giving a reason. Email us to cancel, then send it back within 14 days of telling us.
We refund you within 14 days of getting it back, or of seeing proof that you've sent it, whichever is sooner. If it's faulty, you also have rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
