God knows how this is supposed to be done properly on the car
You just need tape. No screws necessary.

Depends on markets. For most US cars blue or red or even black is a no cost option.

Starting to hear about a lot of standard features being removed or now at a premium $.
It's a shame BMW has stooped to this.

Took my son football training in -4C! I've had the car almost a month now and done about 600 miles, so still running it in. No long trips yet, it's mainly been driving down muddy / flooded country lanes and gritted A roads in the UK winter. Really appreciate the extra height and 4WD coming from a 320i touring. I've not cleaned the car at all, and think the Brooklyn Grey does a great job of hiding the dirt! Will get it ceramic coated once I've had the tow bar installed.

Loving the car so far, bring on 1,200 miles so I can experiment more with sports+!

Just an FYI, BMW uses AWD and not 4WD. There's a difference between the two systems.

30i Mod

Wife bought the car and was unaware of M sport. Hated the look of stock 30i x-line. Wraped the silver trim on bottom sides and front. Removed ugly black fender trim and had them painted. Installed front spoiler. Wheel spacers and some trim pieces. Looks much better now.

Looks good. I had the silver rocker trim painted as well as the front silver pieces on my2021 X3i Want to get he wheel fender trim but not sure about the cost. Next is those OEM wheels (like yours) which I hate.
