Brian - it has been out for a while (not sure how long). 

The new version "looks like" it is curved outward and being lit from the
upper left side. They do that by gradually darkening the shade of the
blue and black as they progress toward the right lower side.


And this is the reason why we can't get those large BMW Roundel stickers
anymore - they have not produced any in the new format yet - and my
dealer says there is no word yet on when they will.

You will have to ask about the ones for your wheels - but actually it
will be hard to notice.
