I was checking our order and it says it includes the following "3DZ Without Additional Designation Outside". In searching the interwebs it says that this is an note designating that the M60 logo is removed from the car. M60 owners - did your build sheets say the same and, if so, did yours have the M or nah?

Thanks all for any help you can offer!

In the US the "M" badges, both for "M Sport" and "M," are removed from the front quarter panels, right and left, for all models. The rear emblems remain. For reasons known only to BMW - it certainly can't be regulatory. There are options historically to purchase OEM or aftermarket badges and put them back, but why the colonials have to do this remains a mystery.

That is what I heard in multiple posts, but not all in one post together. Thanks for this reply. This is exactly what I needed.

FWIW, we did that to our X5 MSport models and it's very easy (emblems have double-sided "permanent" tape on the back). The trick is finding the exact OEM measurements for where they go, and haven't seen that yet for the M60.

Cool, we will talk it out and see if we want to add them. I like the black and gold emblems on the M60 so we may do that.

Example on the X5 side:

I have the M badges on my fenders but no badges at all in back (bimmerpost.com)

Haven't researched the availability of the M60 badges, but I imagine they will be soon if not already....

* Voilà - and I'm sure there are others:

Those are so dang sexy. Thanks for finding that for me!

Now to figure out how to measure this...

The other side:

 

[UncleRenty]

Unless there are some M60 owners who aren't in the US who can measure that for me. That would be swell!

 

[UncleRenty]

I just asked on Reddit as well. Will post here with any (helpful) results I receive.

No measurements yet, but it looks like it is the same distance down from the top fender line as the door handles, and about the distance from the fender edge of the size of the logo itself:

I got my emblems today, but we are not getting the car. Anyone need it?

Still have those emblems?
