No 50th Anniversary Badging

I am about to pull the trigger on a manual M2 in BK Grey. Psyched. Love the new badging and obviously want it. I am told it's not possible and will only coincide with cars built in 2022.

Going a step further I am told anyone with it on their build sheet won't see it come to fruition.

Any thoughts or truth to this? Disappointed but won't chase down what cant be.

Thanks!

This is true. You could always swap them after you take delivery though.

It's $300 or so to do your own swap. There's youtube videos on how to do the install. It's easy.

EOP (end of production) is 12/22. No one within the U.S will be receiving them factory installed.

I think the HEA car will have them assuming they still go into production this month.

Quite possibly. There will not be many if that becomes a reality.

Or… purchase the genuine ones via an online BMW center. $280-$300 is the average. Why install knock-off Chinese junk on a brand new $63-75k vehicle?

BMW warranties all parts and accessories for two years. The Chinese knock-offs do not tend to last that long when repeatedly exposed to the elements. Pure recommendation, I could care less… to each his own.
