I'll never get it why you would make your car look like something it isn't. Waste of money imho for those M imposter cars.

I had a lot of fun with my debadged Audi RS when I smoked some Porsches with it

its just cosmetic and aero parts. it is not like I pasted m50 badge 🤷

given your logic, we cannot use any m performance parts because it is not an m50

finally gotten the right grille cover part 66315A076F3 to complete the m50 grille look

also wrapped the body colored middle piece between the grille gloss black so it looked more complete



also wrapped the door handle black for more consistent b&w feel


full look

I put the sumer tires back on and cleaned the winter wheels.

It's nice to see how easy it's to clean even the satin finish due to the Gyeon Q2 Rim ceramic coating I put on before the winter.

real dry CF overlay for the roundels to continue the exterior b&w look. too bad rigakit went out of business, would have gotten their 3d printed b&w 3d effect roundels


genuine aluminum Sport doorsill instead of m perf carbon ones because not really keen to pay too much for something that i step on often

Next step would be the front and rear window stickers.

Looks quite ridiculous. But as the car is already an M-poster it wouldn't hurt....

never fancy car stickers. not even the m perf ones on the doors. prefer clean look

I actually l like the black on white theme.

These are the adds on I have done to my car.

Although it always looks like dirt is everywhere but promise it is not :-)

I decided to remove the 50 badge and put the leather covers on the seat belts which are very well made and fit nice as we US folks do not get the nice M sport seat belts.

So you’re literally badging your car into something it’s not?

No - it is a X3 with a M badge on the engine. Do you see performance written under it?

Why buy carbon wing mirrors, why buy carbon fiber parts at all. Only true M cars should have them correct.

It is not like I have bought a non-m-lite car, added a double exhaust and badged it up.

If they offered a X3M competition in a 2025 model I would have bought that, but the model was not offered.

It is a X3 model with a M-lite engine. Therefore, a X3M. BMW does not do a X3M which is a more powerful car.

Also, black emblems on silver look better in my opinion rather silver.

So, you have your opinion which I respect but I also have mine.

The badges on the hatch doesn't look it's genuine BMW. The 3 is strange and the M is slightly higher than the X, which is appearing in the picture to have wrong proportions. Also the position is to low in relation to the edge.

You have such a great looking car. Why destroy the look with such small things?

This is a picture of genuine BMW badges:

You just proved my point. It’s not an X3M. What are you going to do when they actually release the new X3M? I’ve never understood this silliness.
Debadging, I can see. Trying to advertise as an X3M?

Oh. I like that. Where did you get that ? I think the center storage is too deep. I can't just grab stuff out of there and have to physically rummage around to find stuff.

As I'm from Germany I ordered it from Amazon Germany.

But most likely they are all the same from China.
