Badges are not hard to come by. Rubber is difficult and expensive. You could probably get both from Jim or Spence at Mesa Performance, or Carl Nelson at La Jolla Independent BMW.
No affiliation with either; I'd be interested to see what you got and the price paid.

Also don't forget BMWCCA members get fair discounts (up to 20%) at some dealers. You'll need to check around.
They won't have what Mesa or La Jolla Independent have in stock and they probably won't be able to spell "E9" if you spot them the "E", but if you know exactly what you want, then they are an option.
If you want decades and decades of experience, friendly advice on alternatives and access to slightly used items that may be otherwise NLA, then our friends at La Jolla Independent and Mesa are a highly recommended source.

Rubber Seal Kits
Have not purchased these nor have I compared prices but Dan has advertised on his web page for some time.

Wow, door seals have come down, $292 at Penske Parts, used to be $420 each. Try Steve aka Blunt as mentioned above.
233.00 at the dealer...if you know someone :-D

Theories as to why the price has dropped???
I ordered a set of seals last year from this guy who sells out of Germany. All seals were new, high-grade rubber and considerably cheaper than the usual suspects...

Not sure if it's true or not but a parts guy at a local BMW dealership told me they do a run of parts and as stock gets low the prices go up. Maybe a new run of door seals was produced. I've noticed that prices are down a bit, recently picked up some trapazoid mirrors for $130 each and a new Windshield for < $450 from Maximillian (no problems or complications with order)
