There are no rear door sills (I remember the F30's rear aluminum sills were tiny, like 4 inches it looked kinda weird). Only one of the leather options has the front seat stripes.

Great find - I feel like we're finding hidden Mickey's at Disneyland or looking at a where's Waldo book.

Okay well thanks to your Daughter we are now at:
16 M logos/stripes

That said the count can go higher with optional accessories:

Floor mats: 4 logos/stripes
Side decals: 2 logos/stripes
Exhaust: 2 logos/stripes (have to confirm this is true for the M340 like it is for the 330)

So M could be 24 in total with accessories

Annoyingly so

I swear I would have owned the car for a decade and never would have noticed it. She picked it up the first day.

If there is one there it must be accounted for, no M can be missed! I think you're referring to the dead pedal, does it come that way (with M/MStripes) or is it an OEM accessory?
Considering my 2017 340 came with an M logo on the dead pedal the M340 has to have one I mean it's all about adding more logos not taking them away

Thank you, I think we may have caught that one though, let me go back and look, hold tight

**Edit**
Yes Fean07 the mats have been accounted for but again thanks for taking the time to respond and joining us on this M finding expedition. I have to believe there is more M out there - but where?

ps- thanks everyone for having fun with this....
