A bit late but the M badges on the 2021 shadow line with extended packages does in fact have the M badges on the fenders here in the USA , located here in Delaware

They came in little chrome , I changed them out for black ones including the m340i badge and xdrive ( xdrive I custom painted with bmw glossy black 668)

I want to do this to mine. How easy was it? I’ve seen people use hairdryer or heat gun. What did you use?

Yes, all I used was a hair dryer, and the pry tool. A little patience because a hair dryer takes longer than expected.

Bought and installed my 3rd front lip. Bolted in so my whole bumper will be going with it if I break this one

Thank your for the reply . I think it’s safer to use the hairdryer than a heat gun, Heat guns can be Notorious for burns if not used right.

BMW makes a axle back the M performance exhaust, the best sounding exhaust on a straight 6.

I cant agree with you on the v8 exhausts that sound like empty pipes or a fart can. But to each there own.

Washed it:

My BMW dealer did it for me for 90 minutes of labor, around $175. They did the M fender badges too.

Does this installation in any way constrict the insertion of coffee cups i.e. is any original space reduced or shape change ? Coffee cups are so important to me ...

Nope, just goes around them.

Took me 30 minutes total, pretty simple.

I'm going to go with this exact setup. The OEM runflats really cannot take any potholes. A few questions:

1. Any reason why you didnt get Summer tires vs all seasons?
2. Road noise and comfort is likely hugely improved, how is handling and turn in response?
3. Are these "star" rated tires, does iDrive and myBMW app recognize them?
4. What tire pressure are you running?

Thanks

I had one Bridgestone tire bubble just before install. That was my whole issue too. I wanted the summer tires but I saw reports that they didn’t last long. I figured, if I didn’t like the all season I’ll just grab the summer set and keep the all season for winter duty.

Road noise is definitely improved. Overall comfort is better but not dramatically better. My tires aren’t Star rated and I set them as “other” when I reset ID8. In my app, only one of the four tires updated. They were given back to me around 44psi and I’m running them at 40psi now. I’ll adjust based on wear.

I really like them. Not as grippy as the t005 but they still feel great

Is that less than $120/hr? Which BMW dealer is that?

Alcantara armrest from AliExpress. Didn't manage to match the color to my cognac Sensatec, but still looks OK. I was concerned it will be uncomfortable to rest your elbow on it because of the hard plastic back side, but so far so good - the alcantara surface feels soooo nice and I don't feel lack of cushioning. For those interested - the proper matching color to Cognac should be Oatmeal(2909).

Can you provide a link to the AliExpress product page?

Just be careful with color selection
