Finally got all of mine. The trunk and hood are OEM, and the wheel center caps and airbag are from Amazon. The knockoffs look close enough IMO.

WoW!! I have an F30 335i M-Sport as well with the same wheels.
My M-Sport is a lighter blue Estoril Blue, so the 50th Anniversary Roundels should look good. I have the aftermarket center wheel caps and steering wheel emblem. Waiting on the BMW OEM emblems, that are backordered. What PNs did you receive? Cheers |

Maybe it is just me but I don't understand putting the 50 th Anniversary roundel on a car that BMW hasn't assign an M in the model number.

This was a no-cost option on my new Z4. I debated to add them or not, and decided they would work with the San Francisco Red. I like them and glad I did. If I'd gone with a less traditional color, like frozen grey metallic for example, I probably would have gone with the traditional roundel emblems.

But pickle showed me BMW is offering these as an option on every model in Europe, as long as it has an M package. Even a 2er tourer can have it. So I am not bashing anyone. |

Since they were not ever used on any BMW car—M or not—prior to this year, it looks like freedom of choice to me. I still have a drawer full of the cloisonné M-sport roundel emblems from decades ago when we put them on our BMW motorcycles. Back then, there were no "M" motorcycles, but historically they had won more races than the cars.

IMO, sporting these roundels isn't anything like M badging a non-m car or putting alpina badges on a non-alpina. It's just celebrating the brand heritage.

You can literally option them on bmw's website on non-M cars so…don't know what to tell you there. But If y'all wanna gate keep, go for it.

Not that I want to go into a whole conversation about what a real M car is and how bmw bastardized the M badge for sales, but an m340i isn't a true M car. Engine and vin prove that quite easily. Yet if bmw is offering the 50th anniversary roundels to it, it seems as though the roundels are not exclusive to M cars. That's my point. But if you guys wanna get mad that people are using the roundels on non-M's then by all means go ahead, it isn't going to make me take mine off.
