Looks a lot better in that pic than in the configurator...

Looks good. Would that be the moonstone paint?

No, it's BMW Individual Sunstone - same as the X3. It's similar to cashmere metallic but lighter.

Is that an "M" badge there on the side by drivers door? Will all the m sports have that m badge on the side? I like it

Yes. The f15 m sport has it as well.

Not in the US Market though, F15 nor the G05.

You can order the M badge and apply them yourself. The are a few US F15 M Sport owners that have done so.

I totally agree!

jra0113 · 10-21-2018, 04:41 PM

Might as well slap an amg badge on the back as well 😂

akhter · 10-21-2018, 04:56 PM

In many markets it just comes with it. My f15 has it and g05 will probably have it.

I am not a badge elitist like many around here.

Interesting that the one they have seems to have Driving Assist. A CA at my local dealership told me yesterday about the issues with Sunstone supposedly interfering with the radar unit, which is why they changed the ordering guide so that the Driver Assist systems can’t be ordered with Sunstone until they resolved the problems.

I agree with not wanting an M badge on a non M bmw, just because it was Msport. That’s not an M car. I wouldn’t pull a Maxine Waters and harass someone for doing that, but if you don’t really have an M, I would think it would be a little embarrassing to stick an M on there. Civilians wouldn’t know the difference, I suppose. I thought it was interesting in Munich seeing Bmw’s without the numeric badge on the back. Totally plain. Of course those were usually the ones with the small motors, and you could tell by the single exhaust...lol.

I usually de-badge all my cars in the past, anyway. AMGs, Ms, Sti's, what not. It's better that ppl don't know what's under the hood unless they're real enthusiasts.

Thanks for posting! Looks so much better than in the configurator! Now I'm feeling a little better. I kept questioning my choice.

Where are the European model M badges available to buy? I have looked at a lot of accessories on the BMW website but have never seen them.
