No side M badge on US spec'd M240i?

dPanda · 11-25-2021, 11:08 PM

One thing I noticed from watching videos of US spec'd vs European or Canadian spec'd cars. Any way to get those added? After market options maybe?

I haven't found any yet, I think it does a nice job of making the side view more interesting.

Not sure how legit this site is, but…

Getbmwparts is legit, have purchased a number of things from them over the years. BMW of Silver Spring.

Lightngsvt · 11-26-2021, 07:57 PM

Hmmmm, I kind of want to add these to mine as well, assuming the car ever comes in.

Suggest asking store to ask BMW about deleting 3DZ from vehicle order.

Why? is the one on the back not enough...

roho3323 · 11-27-2021, 10:22 AM

I just called my SA to see if he can delete 3DZ. I'll report back shortly whether successful or not.

You can't.

sikotic · 11-27-2021, 01:08 PM

I'm actually glad the US doesn't get them to be honest. They look pretty tacky but thats just my opinion of course. What I think the US needs are the M Sport Seats because its actually something you're going to use plus it makes a biggg difference looks wise.

MUFCbmwbear · 11-27-2021, 01:10 PM

Agree, they are tacky.

Don't fret it. At least you don't have to waste time removing them

If/when I get my car - those badges will be the first ones to get removed.
They are a pain when waxing/cleaning the car. Besides - there's already an M badge on the caliper, just a few inches away.

Matt 335is · 11-27-2021, 07:35 PM

the first thing I would do is remove that badge if it did come on it
don't ever add badges to your car

Has your store ever asked BMW Canada about adding 3DZ or 320 to a customer order?

Do you know of anything that weighs against submission of a special request other than safety or feasibility issues?

Production complexity. Now in the case of a badge it may be minor, but automakers generally do not like doing something to a car that is completely unique to a market, lest they accidentally ship some cars over to the market that don’t meet more serious safety and certification requirements or consumer expectations.
