Bmw Gift Pen

[vinper]

I received a carbon fiber type "German" pen as a gift from BMW on the anniversary of the purchase of my car. There is a website which sells rollerball type refills for this specific pen, but they tend to be expensive and I suspect they're just generic refills. The pen's manufacturer is not displayed on the pen, just the BMW logo. The refill has a squared off shaft near the tip and is about 4 3/8" long and appears similar to others I have seen on the web (Montblanc, for example). The pen is a delight with good heft and a startling finish; I just dislike being locked into one supplier for refills when there maybe something available at my local Staples that will do just as well. Any suggestions? Vin

Can you upload the pen's photo or paste direct link of the image?

Thanks for your interest. The pen and the refills can be seen @ http:www.germanpenrefills.com/ I don't know how to upload picture to my computer, but the one on the website is a fair representation of the pen. On the website it show up a black, but in person, it's a beautiful carbon fiber body under a clear finish with an all black cap. Vin

To my knowledge, it doesn't resemble any Cross model (thats the focus of this sub forum). However, I saw the refills in that website, and I think Schmidt refills would suit your pen. They're smooth. Check this out, I think this matches your BMW refill specs:

Of course, it may just be half this price in a local stationery shop.

You're welcome. Please comment if Schmidt refills fit your BMW pen well.
