It looks like the X3 base model badges are a little bigger and different angles than the badges of the silver X3 badges on M50 so I guess the X3 2024 badges look a good match.

Don't have the car yet.

But for me the badges are identical in size and shape to the G01 ones.

See pictures for comparison. First picture is the G01 badges, second picture isG45 badges.

Can I ask where you got the M50 black lettering? I can't seem to find a dealer that has it.

Lol, that one was easy.

But put some money aside for the other things to come.

Parts are slowly showing up now and althought there is no partnumbers yet, the M performance rear diffusor is shown in parts catalogue.

This one is realy nice. There will be the main part and two variations of the center piece. One in Carbon and a simple black one.

I'll update my list in this post https://g45.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...3&postcount=60 as soon as partnumbers show up.

1st picture is standard diffusor and 2nd is the M Performance one with Carbon insert.

Wondering if #4 in the diagram is a mperformance grille different than the m50 grille?

I have ordered the door sills, is there anywhere instructions or manual of how to correctly put them?

I’d guess it’s doubled sided sticky pads/tape straight on to the painted surface. Kinda like the Ali Express stuff.

Afaik there are no clip points to locate the trim as on previous BMW as shown -

I bought the badges as well. I'm nervous to install them myself. They seem to be plastic and the original silver ones are metal. Do you have any pics of yours installed?

I also bought all the rubber floor mats, they're nice.
The only issue is the rear floor mats (51-47-5-B3C-4E9) had this photo description

And there was no middle rubber floor mat piece. This fits the description, but does anybody know the part number for the middle rubber piece?

Unfortunately I think it is a mistake in the picture. I asked the dealership and there is no part existing.

Dang, I want that piece. Do you have any pictures of your badges on your car? The YouTube videos suggest hair dryers and googone to pop off the old decals. Googone freaks me out and would be difficult to apply only where needed without taking off some of my ceramic treatment. The hair dryer seems fine except for maybe the M decal on the front grill because there are electronics nearby, but maybe that's fine too because the car sits in the hot sun.

Just use this removal tool from Amazon; Gomake emblem removal tool. I’ve used this specific one on several projects and the string holds up better than others. Took me 5 minutes. Was about 35 degrees F in the garage that day and the emblems practically fell off. Just had to pick a few residual pieces of the double face tape off. Wipe area with rubbing alcohol. Pop new ones on. But use masking tape to frame where the existing emblems are so you can hit the same spot.

Nice! I'll get that one. Thanks

Dental floss will also work very well.
