I read somewhere, maybe this forum, that the Euro Msport cars get the small M badges on each front fender. Not sure about the full M models.

Europe and Canada get these ... not the US market.

Your talking about the ones pictured on our forum header.

These were suppose to be standard across the board from release on all M-Sport models. Early production M-Sport models got them as pictured in all the initial press cars. My early M-Sport 50i build got them and I have seen them on about 5 other early builds then there was a initial part shortages and package name changes at the start of production. At that point, only the cars outside of the US got them. Initially there was all kinds of part shortages as production was ramping up. I believe the “badge delete” for the USA models was implemented then. We had a long thread on this at the start of our G05 forum. Some dealers were even getting the badges and installing them on delivery. Much like the key card, the badge was spotty at best with dealers stepped up and delivering them with the new X5’s.

Mine had them set aside for me (gratis) for when I returned from PCD and installed them when I picked up my tags. If not you can purchase them for $20-24 each.

In the grand scheme of a $100k BMW, your dealer should locate a set for free. Just ask before delivery to add some incentive. I have installation measurements I took for the forum.

Canada didn't get the side ///Ms either. I argued with the SA for a few minutes, then said "screw BMW" and badged my own car how I saw fit.

Approx 2.125" wide from leading edge of /// to M and 0.75" tall or 53.975mm wide and 19.05mm tall.

They're small and discreetly tasteful.

Ah it's chrome.

For your M50i, the front quarter panel ///M badge in Cerium Grey would be:

Emblem - M Cerium Gray - BMW (51-14-8-094-237)

I stock the Black Chrome.

A couple of posts back:

Approx 2.125" wide from leading edge of /// to M and 0.75" tall or 53.975mm wide and 19.05mm tall.

Same with part numbers for Cerium:

For your M50i, the front quarter panel ///M badge in Cerium Grey would be:

Emblem - M Cerium Gray - BMW (51-14-8-094-237)

Thank-you, I have the shadow line option does that change the colour of the side badges? The vehicle has carbon black paint, I've seen references to gloss black badges wondering how they would look against the carbon black.

Factory shadowline option only changes the Cerium grill, front air breathers, side vent trim, and exhaust trim. Your badges will still be in Cerium grey. 99.9% sure, you're going to need to source aftermarket if you want back and side badges to match shadowline.

I have the shadowline option and just bought the cerium grey emblems to match the emblems on the tailgate. They were about $45 each on getbmwparts.com

Side emblem delete is a “feature” in the USA. Part of M Sport package listed as “3DZ without lines designation outside”

Was the same for F15. USA didn’t get side emblems. Early us G05 builds with emblems were “misbuilds”.

I just got the Cerium side M fender badges for my 2022 G05 M50i. I am scared to ask the dealership to put them on. I wonder if they would know exactly where they go?
