BMW M Apparel
Am I the only one who thinks that the selection of Apparel for BMW enthusiasts is lacking?
My question is what would people like to see apparel wise. I would love to see nice M themed snapbacks, winter hats, joggers, etc Wondering if I am crazy |

I feel that way when I see someone with a wanker # plate on their car. 😉

Not something I particularly do when it comes to automotive brands but I don't see a problem with representing something you love. To me it's the same as wearing gear for your favorite sports team. I don't own any BMW gear but a hat/shirt/hoodie is fine IMO. Wearing head-to-toe gear is a different story.

I have a friend with a Harley who says that once you buy a Harley, the only gift you will ever receive from that day forth is Harley Merch.
Not sure I've ever seen a ball cap without a logo, branding, or some kind of statement...and for those of us without hair, a ball cap in summer time is just PPE!

I'm not a huge fan of their basic lifestyle stuff and don't think I own any. However their stuff I do like, is their stuff that tells a story or sparks a memory, like the gear from the Performance Driving Center. I do buy that stuff because when I wear it, it reminds me of which trip it was, what I did, the fun I had and how I'd like to do it again. Might sound silly to others but I like it. Also those items are cut to American sizes but only available at the Performance Center.

I just ordered the M///Town stuff and really like it. It's also not in your face BMW ... more creative than simply a BMW logo. I grabbed the paintbrush logo down the back t shirt and hoodie.
https://shop.spreadshirt.com/bmw-m-t...verride=DESIGN There's a link to the different logos created, not typical BMW mark up on these pieces, but they certainly aren't statement pieces. I just wanted something to wear while working on my car.

Coming from a small town, displaying a tiny bit of manufacturer apparel was a means to instant comradery. My problem with most of it is that it's too ostentatious, and that hasn't been solved with BMW. |

I might wear an M hat or something once in a blue moon. I'd consider wearing something with a small logo. I really think the watches and some of the other stuff is a bit cheesy. If you are wearing 3 or more logos and not at a BMW event then you may need to reconsider, lol.

As far as BMW branded stuff I have an M i-watch band I got online and a very nice M-town shirt my daughter was nice enough to buy me. If the self appointed fashion police have an issue with that it's their problem.

I have a couple of the M hats - I like the ones with just the 3 M stripes as it's very subtle. Some of the shirts with the classic cars are ok. I don't particularly like any of the flashy in your face things.

I bought a BMW M jacket on pickup day at the Welt, the one and only thing I bought at the store there. I'm not one for wearing much advertising or showing off logos but it's a pretty sweet jacket and it definitely bumps me up at least a point, from maybe 6.5 to 7.5, on the badass scale. I don't think it helps me drive any better, but I'm definitely better-looking in it.

I like to wear these F87 forum t-shirts when I go to Cars and Coffee. They're a good conversation starter. They're still available if anyone wants one:

Funny thing is people always ask if I work at the Performance Center. Same with my Haas F1 polo . Wish I worked at either In addition I'm too old to give a shit what people think! If it fits I'll rock it. BTW, if you're driving a new BMW most people think you're a douche already. Last edited by Killed by Death; 12-16-2020 at 04:38 PM.. |
