I've given up trying to find it so made this up from scratch

The log badge fonts are Helvetica, but the actual fonts for the other badges (Z3, M3, etc.) were custom made for BMW. The closest font is Eurostile Medium Extended, but they don't have the slant nor the pointy strokes at the end. I've been playing with Figma to convert the font to a vector drawing, then reshaping them, but it is not easy. The z itself was came out reasonably enough:
But, the 3 is something else...
What do you have in mind? Is it the "EV" in lower case, like the "i" in 2.0 i?

You posted as I was typing.
Wouldn't it look nicer to have the "ev" bit lower case?
I did it that way to start but it just didn't look right looked too much like a 3
also looked at that in fact I've been staring at the back of peoples cars while walking the dog this week they probably think I'm a weirdo but anyway I prefer it in capitals
All done
well I'm pleased with that
