Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Apologies if all this has been extensively debated elsewhere on the forum already, but most conversations I've seen surround the badging's availability rather than appearance per se. Examples: https://www.evo.co.uk/bmw/204374/bmw...colour-options

I got the 50th anniversary badging too at no extra charge. It was free (US build). Not sure why they would charge you for them since all cars being built after 01 March have the option to get these. I know you can opt out and have the regular badging instead.

I'm also having a hard time envisioning whether or not the 50th anniversary would look good on TB. Personally I think it looks pretty good and I really like the design. I think I'd have to see it in person before deciding on it. But I definitely think that there will eventually be aftermarket 50th anniversary badges.

You can always retrofit those badges with regular ones if it doesnt go well with your color. Also one will be able to order these badges through dealership, so its not going to hold any special value.

Sorry for the stupid question since I’ve never owned a BMW before, but is that Java green? I reallllly like the color in those photos, and since I’m going to be an MY23 model I may consider switching from TR to that.

I don't mind the appearance or design - it is the M colors, it's the original design, so fine to slap it on. My G80 order is for Melbourne Red, so it will go fine.
Would not pay extra for it though - when my build got pushed from February to March it was added automatically, and gratis. |

I have a Tanzanite G80 on order - just hit 112 for week 8 build. So I am the last week that won't have the option of the anniversary badges. At first this bothered me, but if I ever miss them I can order aftermarket. I do like the idea though, and think they will look great with lighter and brighter colors. Imagine Fire Orange!

Eh... the standard badge has white as well. I can see the argument about it being more "busy", but mostly I think it's just a matter of getting used to it. (Like we have for other, much larger design changes.)

I think they look great, but I wouldn't pay for them.

I think it's more the prominent white around the edges that will contrast with the darker exterior. But perhaps you're right - nobody has seen them on a car yet.

I've heard March builds going forward will automatically include the anniversary style. I've also heard it's an available option. Does anyone have information about how it works? (Automatically or an Option).

In the UK, it's a priced option, not automatically included. But we have a range of different configurations for what comes as 'standard equipment' to folks Stateside.

On M performance cars, it's the opposite.

I've got the 50th anniversary badge on the build for my M3 Comp. I didn't ask for it, but I'm getting it. I think it's going to look killer on my all-black M3 Comp. It's going to make the car look very special.

I just placed an order for an SPY G80 with black wheels and I opted for the regular badges. I don't think the anniversary badges would go well with my colors, and they look a little busy to me. Still thinking about it though since I have time to change my mind. I may change my color as well if something cool becomes available as part of the 50th program before my order is locked.
