Poser. Don't care if its an M Sport. Its not a M.
How about this...save a little more and get the real deal. Guess being a poser is way cheaper. Good day! |

This is a funny thing - the blowback on what some are calling "M posers." If you bought an X5M because you really wanted the performance of it that's great and I'm sure you think your money was well spent. If you bought it for the ego/prestige of owning an M and you're getting butthurt because someone else is getting that benefit for way less money, maybe you need to reevaluate your priorities in life? Honestly, for any knowledgeable BMW person they'll know what you have. And for anyone that isn't or doesn't really care about the distinction, why would you care what they think?
Seriously, isn't that why BMW choses to market a car with the M sport Pkg? You get the cool logos on what is basically just a 40i. They're marketing to owners that want to channel a bit of the M character in their ride. |

Wanting to get these vents from RGSport. Also might like the idea of having that Plain M sticker with the 3color band BUT wanting the M in black instead of white. Anyone know of a solution? Would the small M fender badge happen to fit on that slat?

so someone can apply any number of cosmetic upgrades to their G05, but if it's an ///M design such as side vents or rear spoiler, he's a poser or loser? why not the other way around?
for example, the M Performance flow-through rear spoiler which is a direct fit on top of the stock G05 rear spoiler. there's one owner who installed this on his F95 which required a G05 rear spoiler retrofit first, yet nobody gave him any flack. **i will agree that badging is faux pas, such as applying ///M next to 40i** : |

I ordered the stickers in one of the other posts (Post 38). I'll take the stock M emblem off (Post 41) of the fender above the vents and only have an M on the vent it self (Post 38). I took the X5 M sticker off of the vents right away, because it's not... If that all makes sense.

I was going to put the M on the fender like they used to for the 45e but I decided to go this route for a cleaner look. Last edited by S68 X5MC; 10-28-2022 at 08:46 AM.. |
