One of my friends put those stupid M colored grille slats on his wife's base model X5.
Another friend just got a base X3 and wants to do the same.
I'm just so over BMW owners, and that's part of why I didn't get another. Outside this forum, not a single BMW owner I know is actually a car enthusiast. They are all badge/brand enthusiasts. That explains why BMW has made many of the decisions it has over the past decade.
At least there's the M division. I'd definitely return to BMW with an M2.
