M anniversary badging on M850i

Bayernzeit · 04-01-2022, 03:41 PM

I'd been waiting to see the M 50th anniversary badges anywhere in person since they were announced, and was able to on this M850i at BMW Welt last weekend. Thought you 8 fans might enjoy.

Very nice thank you for posting, one thing I wish I had...

Thanks for sharing! Guessing that is the ne frozen Tanzanite which looks great but somewhat of an oxymoron as one loses the stunning metallic flake that makes Tanzanite a true chameleon.

That said the emblem is a $200 option on the 2023 M850i's and pretty much a no brainer as it doesn't even move the MSRP needle.

Kinda looks out of place. Maybe it's the frozen paint. Would look good on the lighter colors though imo.

I like it. The traditional blue and white bmw badges on my Sapphire Black always look just a bit wrong to me, woukd much prefer the 50th anniversary badges. Or even better…black and white.

Good stuff here https://ind-distribution.com/collect...on-bmw-roundel

NYG1121 · 04-02-2022, 08:17 AM

Nice! Those new grills are funky though

CarlaM850 · 04-02-2022, 09:10 AM

What is a badge?

Beemer5to3 · 04-02-2022, 09:51 AM

Not my cup of tea, but ETTO and all that

snareman · 04-02-2022, 11:38 AM

I much prefer the regular Roundels. I feel like I have to search for the Roundel in the midst of a bunch of circle parts on that one. Cool logo, but not what I'd want on my car.

mpop302 · 04-02-2022, 10:06 PM

I don’t like it

ArcticWhite · 04-03-2022, 08:30 PM

Not a fan of the badge colors or the new grill.

Sorry, I did not. But here's a consolation prize 😁

Now, if they could put these on the iX M60, but make it a mechanical iris that replaces the current lame camera washing mechanism, I'm in.

Wolfman64 · 04-07-2022, 12:57 PM

Looks like that badge is now a $200 option on the 8 Series configurator.

Either way I wouldn't pick that design...

I thought long and hard about it, then I decided this being the end of an era (V8), having such badging decades from now will be significant as a factory installed item. I hope more folks opt out of them…
