I do wonder why the change and agree that IF it was a cost thing, that would have been a poor decision by BMW.

This was the first time I actually popped my hood since I got the car

Damn I’m sad that it’s not only just me, hate to see this widespread. Big part of the fun of individual. I’ve reached out to my SA, they said they can figure something out but let’s see.

Frozen Pure Grey II is technically individual, it's just offered as a "priority individual" for more quicker build times.

I received my 23 in Apr and it has the individual sticker.

Funny, but it was one of the first things I checked.

Some people are just goofy and just want things a certain way.

Take for instance the deletion of the M3/M4 Competition Script on the center console next to the shifter and BMW dropping the "Competition" on the door entry scuff guard to just say "M3/M4". Do we NEED more badging on this car? Hell no. Do some prefer it debadged? Sure. Are there some of us out there who think that it's wrong the car doesn't have it and want it rectified? Yup, absolutely, to the point I bought a used set of door scuff guards off Ebay and am having my dealer retrofit the center console plate before I even get the car.

That makes sense especially since I did remove the blank and replaced it with the M4 Comp script😂

So for those of us that have the sticker (and I guess caliper plaques)… does that mean our vehicle can fetch a premium when reselling? 😁

Sounds like we have some “limited edition” features

Pretty lame they got rid of it, I always thought it was a nice touch. I was hoping to see it when I popped my hood.

There is an eBay seller making these. I ordered 1 back in late January and they only arrived last week. Too bad I sold the car. In fairness, the seller appears to be located in Ukraine. I blotted out the VIN..

How does this work? does he ask for the VIN, color and code and prints it manually?

Correct. Once you purchase he asks for the color and the VIN.

For the cars and coffee and Instagram brah!

Seriously though, it’s a nice touch, I don’t have an Individual colour (unless Dravit is considered Individual) but can see where people would like to have it.

From my experience, they stopped putting the individual tag in the engine bay since MY23 may or june production month.

Mine is production march MY23 and got it ! I would be very disapointed if I didn't get it.

PS : yeah my engine bay is missing some stuff, waiting for new strut brace and have golden wrench kit to install.

LOL!

Dravit is an Individual color. Just not one that needs BMW approval. Check my post further up. It will show you what the Dravit Gray individual color sticker looks like. The only difference is they will be customized with your VIN. At first I thought “who cares” but after finding them for 10 bucks I figured what the heck😀
