New 45e badging?

Just picked up my 45e. Hadn't seen this badging before…

One on each side, front quarter panel just behind front wheel. The driver side one is on the charging port door.

Anyone else seeing this on their new 45e's?

It's new for MY22 45e models starting with July 2021 production.

BMW announced back in May 2021 that its PHEV cars will have a few distinctive features from now on. The update includes new lettering and BMW i Blue accents around the car.

"From July 2021, plug-in hybrid models of the BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series, BMW 7 Series and BMW X5 will be recognizable by their fresh exterior and interior design accents. New lettering on the tailgate and on the opposite front sidewall indicates that the vehicle is “electrified by i”. Moreover, the BMW emblems on the bonnet, the tailgate, wheel hubs and steering wheel feature a BMW i Blue surround."

Agreed. The blue rings in the roundels look cool.

I like the standard roundels. I ordered replacements for the wheels. I do like the badge on the charging flap because it gives me a place to push and won't leave a smudged mark on the painted flap like the older versions.

Depending on the color of the vehicle I could see how the blue roundels might clash a bit.
