So I did a thing today

[boots]

So I did a thing today. I washed the car. lol. what kind of thing did you do.

[technician117]

I washed mine last night. Put a set of 345M wheels on the car with a new set of snow tires. Needed to clean the wheels anyway.

Imperial Blue looks so damn sexy when clean and in any light! Bright sun: Damn! At dusk: mmm, sexy. Dark paint looks so good when clean!

I was never a fan of the 345M wheels until seeing them in person. Depends on the color of the car too. They've grown on me quite a bit already!

[spudslatte]

Your Imperial Blue looks amazing man! I hope mine comes out that beautiful after my buddy does a full detail on it. Its a great and not so common color.

Our cars could be twins 😳 mine is hibernating now, many mods to come next year, I'm so excited. And the 345 are not as bad as many say, I have to agree. I will put on BBS next season, but used the 345 all summer long and got many compliments for them!

that blue does look snazzy

[Aronis]

My car is filthy. Too lazy to wash it. And it’s 20 degrees out.

I see you have a badge delete in the back. Stealth mode fully engaged.

Yes, the term twins reaches a new dimension here

Car was ordered as is, full badge delete front and back, cruising in stealth mode, scaring some high dollar sportscars on the German Autobahn 🤪

It's called imperial blue brilliant metallic, it's a rather rare color, I was told
Depending on the light, it appears to be black or dark blue, it has a distinctive depth to it.
Love the color 👍🏻

Question: why the badge removal? Just for my knowledge, no other reason

I'd like to know also. I had my tailgate painted last year and had no badge for a few days, hated every second of it.

Imperial Blue is the only colour to have!

Simple answer: the pre-owner, an older man, didn't like the badging and had it orders that way. I personally don't mind the badges, I might actually add them again in the front and rear. After all, it's a legit M5, so the badges are not fake 🤪

I never thought to remove mine.

bc it looks cleaner and is more subtle. and classier.. the guy(older and mature no doubt) that ordered it that way probly had m cars before and has grown past the "look at me" Mbadge overkill (altho idk why it was ordered that way if thats true bc its just 3m molding tape and takes 2mins to remove)

mostly bc overzealous non-Mcar owners with the badges and hideous tri-striping exterior bumper crap, and bmw themself now M-badging almost every damn car now the M badge is becoming lame.

so just take it off and let the motor send the message

Totally agree, he actually owned many M cars, like me. He's a real enthusiast and ordered the F90 M5 again with the badge removal option

I see many non-M cars or the so-called M Performance vehicles, they all carry the M badge. So thinking about it, I won't add the badges and continue to fly in stealth mode 😜

[M5Rick]

I'd rather take the bus than have no M badges on mine, didn't pay all that money to be incognito.Can always order with the badges and then remove them keeping them handy when you want to sell the vehicle
Another option you can have if you don't want it to stand out is to have the badge on the back in body colour.

[DJ///M5]

I currently own (4) "M" (X5M, M5 (F10), M5 (E39), M3 (E46). The side, rear and sometimes front badging is part of the package. Of course the main thing is the "M" motor. No way would I de-badge my "M"s. Most are understated from the factory and non-car/enthusiast don't have a clue what they are looking at.

[NotSooFast]

I debadged mine completely. I'm not old and I dont consider myself mature

My reason was a mix of clean looks and abuse of "M" on non Motorsport cars. I have another M5 (read 530i), two M3s (330i & E90 325xi) and few other X3 Ms (again non M) cars in my town that I know. And we have less than 10K people in my town.
