640d or 640i Gran Coupe rear badge dimensions
Can anyone with a 640i gran coupe please be kind enough to provide the exact dimensions of the rear 640i badge placement please?
Since the 640d is more common, dimensions for these may also work. Or tell me where I can get these from. My local BMW dealer has not been very helpful. i.e. exact measurement from 6 to the headlight or boot edge, height from boot edge etc Would be much appreciated Last edited by hasBmw; 06-23-2023 at 06:34 AM.. |

Thank you so much!
How much from right hand edge of boot (crease of brakelight area) to the left edge of the 6? Pictures would really also help if its not too much bother for you, otherwise I will try mock up a diagram with the numbers given. Also spoke to the parts department of my BMW dealer and can't believe they don't have this info or template on their system, useless. |

This is the max I can get with my calipers – no reach from 6 to brake light.
You can do the math by adding up the width of each of your badge digits + spacing. Please satisfy our curiosity as to why the car is debadged. Yeah, I wouldn’t expect a dealer to have a diagram on this. Experienced body shops can eyeball it. Quote:

Perfect, this will be very helpful.
Many thanks! I guess it wouldn't hurt if I am off a mm or 2, but definitely need to make sure its all levelled and not wonky. Might be better to cut out a paper template using these figures and use that. |

I agree with this. You really just need a level bottom line and one side. If you have too much tape you increase the risk of trapping tape under the emblem adhesive. OP, if you don't know, these badges come pre-assembled in that they are properly spaced already and sandwiched between two pieces of plastic. You pull off just the bottom plastic to expose the adhesive, stick it on and then peel off the top plastic.

Yes I gathered they were spaced correctly and confirmed with the measurements provided here. But thanks for the tip, seems the easiest way to just peel off the bottom to expose adhesive and stick on along tape edge.
