I think it's a little too anonymous, so I want the original lettering on the tail boot lid.

The emblem is already bought, but I can't find any details about it's exact location on the lid, neither online nor in the F85 workshop service manual. Furthermore, looking at F85 pictures, the emblem seems to be slightly turned left / lower on the left side. This makes it very hard to try mounting the emblem solely by comparing to pictures. Moreover, my local BMW dealer does not have an F85 to take measurements from ATM.

Anyone able to provide me with some exact measurements?

Something like this would be perfect: https://www.xbimmers.com/forums/show....php?t=1330452
I don't know about the emblem question. But I'd like to hear more about the G Power package you have!

[Edit: OP, if the link does not help (or you want more exacting measurements}, ask...happy to walk out and make the same measurements on my F85 for you but using a digital caliper, and post the pictures]

"Happy to walk out" - LOL. You haven't even answered my PM sent to you in February. I'm so f... tired of those appreciation seeking posts.

Nevermind: I just found a kind F85 owner with model lettering from factory. Results are attached.

The emblem itself (BMW part number 51 14 8 057 980) is delivered with a transparent foil covering on top of all the letters; holding them together. Thus, the measurement of the width (21,5 cm) and measurements between the letters themselves are not necessary for the best / most correct alignment.
