Very annoyed about it as have to fuss around with the removal after the car is deliver when it would be so easy to not install it during the build.

They’re very easy to get off a new car, bit of heat and they should just peel right off.

Thanks Teaston - I'll be sure to do that!

I also noticed that in Europe you get an "M" just below the exterior mirrros
in the US we don't get it

They were introduced a while back. Can be deleted on orders along with boot debadging, but mine was a stock order and left them on.

De-badging seems to have disappeared from the M40i, since the MY2020 changes went live on the UK configurator.

Hopefully it makes a comeback as that's the first thing I'd tick (after all the toys)

That's annoying - and a bit strange!

I really like the fact mine is totally debadged. Makes it a real "sleeper"!
