Hi Folks

I have a 2024 M3C coming in sometime end of year (on the ship), is it still possible to get the 50th anniversary emblems on the front and back? My BMW of Seattle says no and it kinda bums me out. I do want official but not sure if that fits the 2024?

Thanks!

You can buy them after the fact. I believe the only true anniversary editions were in ‘22 as the first M was a 1972. I have seen them from BMW even on ‘23’s. Perhaps because some were built in ‘22 for the ‘23 MY? Your CA is right, you can’t get them for a ‘24 build direct from the factory.

Bimmer Plug has very high quality replicas or you can buy them direct from BMW for a ‘22.

It’s obviously your car to do what you want but not sure I would want to badge a ‘24 as a ‘22. There are also multiple alternatives including all black, CF, reverse anniversary color badges etc.

Good luck with your new car!

You just buy the emblems for the wheels ($200) and for the front and back ($140). Or if you have seasonal wheels and tires too, you put out yet another $200, like so:

The badges were standard (comp models) or no-cost options (non-comp models) on MY23 M-cars. I don't think that they're available from the factory on any MY24s.

I know that this is not what you're asking, but although I generally like small unique design elements like this, I never really took a liking to the 50 Jahre M-badges. I just don't like the aestetic. When I ordered my MY23 M8C, I actually chose the no-cost "standard badge" option. I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority though.

I couldn’t change them on my build so I paid extra for the painted ones from IND after the fact. I didn’t like the anniversary emblems at all lol.

They were available from early '22 (can't remember if it was January or March) through March of '23. This should mean that all (or nearly all) M4s with anniversary badges are '23s, while there would be a decent chunk of '22 M3s for which they were not available, and another decent chunk (including my April '23 build) of '23 M3s for which they were not.

i have the motorsports badges for my hood, trunk, and wheels on my 2018 and 2024 cars. i got them because of what the badges mean to me, personally.

i got all the parts necessary for my 2018 from PaddleShifterz and Bimmer Plug. for my 2024, i actually made the badges part of the car purchase agreement. if you ask your dealer to do it, they will. and yes, i got the floating wheel caps for both cars.

these car forums sure do a great job at enthusiasm squashing.

i hope your badge quest is successful. the motorsports logos make me smile EVERY TIME I SEE MY CARS.

For real. Seems like half the people here get butthurt if you even ask about something thats "unusual" for them.
Those negative nancy's need to go back reddit.

[Forzanerazzurri]

You're almost 2 years past the 50th anniversary now. At this point you would be posing a bit but go for it.

A bit sensitive there mate.

[pred8er]

Thanks all

[Mike02z]

Why would anyone be butthurt for bringing up that the 50th Anniversary was in ‘22? It’s his car to do as he wants but there are some who are just reminding the OP that the reason he can’t order them from BMW on his build is because its no longer the 50th Anniversary.

BMW watered-down the 50th anniversary just like they do with the M badging on non M cars. IMO the only cars that should have the 50th badge from the factory would real ‘22 M cars. If the OP decides to replace the factory badges because he likes the 50th anniversary badges there is no butthurt here.

100% agree - in fact, I am very happy that my 2023 M4comp came with them, factory.

Side note: Does BMW make OEM Carbon upgraded ones like Ferrari does?

For the M3 we received the 50th anniversary badges as standard (regardless of base or comp model), but had a no cost option for the traditional badges. They were available from March 2022 to March 2023, which spanned the last ~3-4 months of the MY22 run, and ~9months of MY23 run.

When you kept the anniversary badges you could take advantage of (most) individual colors for $3750 instead of $4500.

Did this on my winter wheelset and now I like them better than standard; adds a little “pop” and a bit of uniqueness. This thread has me thinking of doing the front/rear badges.

If you like the 50 year logos get them.

My assumption on the 22/23 cars is the fact BMW M was founded in May of 1972.
So BMW allowed the badges through April of 2023 which was the end of the 50th year. My car was delivered March of 23 with them.

[RichardGM4]

I ordered a G80 M3CX in the UK at the end of September and there was no option to spec the standard badges (I checked because I was unsure whether I wanted the anniversary badges or not), so I can only assume the non-standard badges are no longer added to cars ordered now

They definitely did not allow them through April of 23. I wanted them badly, both because I like them, and because of the $750 discount on individual paint. But by the time February allocations were released on 2/4, they was no longer orderable, so my week 15 build (which hit the production schedule on 3/28 and began assembly on 4/5) does not have them.

I believe the last chance was either December allocations (for January production) or January allocations (for February production).

I had the last week possible for them, week 8 of this year, so it was feb productions where it ended.
