As one of my newbie posts.....I purchased a 04 2.5i with the SMG transmission. Prior to my purchase I had read and researched about this particular type of transmission. Personally, and having driven normal manual transmissions I was initially doubtful about SMG. Furthermore, I also knew that there was going to be a learning curve for me with the timing of the paddle up-shifts and downshifts, etc. etc. However, after driving and feeling the car for awhile, it has been quite fun and exhilarating. .....
Anyways, as part of my own personal preference to display the type of transmission that is in my Z, I wanted to retrofit the engine identification side emblems from “2.5i” to “SMG”. So after searching the internet for days, I finally found a distributor of chrome automotive lettering that had a slanted font very much similar the “Z4” as displayed on our trunk lids.

Where did you get that from?
I've de-badged my car from all but the Z4 on the trunk. I wouldn't mind replacing that with an SMG. Remove all Z4 references from my car ala M style. |

I sincerely apologize that I could not answer your question right away. I have not checked this thread for awhile. Anyways, I purchased the letters off of EBAY, with shipping it turns out to be approximately $2.98 per letter. It takes about a minimum of 2 weeks to get by mail. The Ebay Item number is: 120141967498....Good Luck..
