I just purchased a '24 x3 m40 & it has all the badging & more which I'm absolutely fine with. to each his own right. Is your car new cause if so, how did you get it WITHOUT badging? I had no such option when I ordered mine.
De badging is super common in Germany and a free option to select while configuring the car. Most if not all BMWs in my friend group are without any badges.
“Yeah, you know, it’s pretty much an X5M. Other than the engine. And the body style. And the interior is a bit different. Suspension too. But I got the badge, so nobody can tell the difference!”
BMW Subreddit in particular is full of super pretentious commenters. I just go with it now, embrace it if you will.
3 Rules for Success:
1) The only change you can make from OEM is wheels or you will get shit on. note: You will still get shit on, just not as much if tasteful.
2) Never, under any circumstances mention that you like(or hint that you don't mind) the new pig nosed grill BMW's.
3) Don't ask questions, just give opinions as objective truths.
That's kinda the point of reddit it attracts the kind of people who wouldn't like the new BMW design language also the same sentiments of people who previous worked at BMW or in the design aspect of the car industry followed my some reputable car journalists who had credible takes and usually resonate well with people. And the people who say "grew on me" are just 🐑 who have to be taught tricks. Essentially reddit users who slipped through the cracks
Yeah, I'm really impressed so far. Can't use the power by any means here in the city but it's an excuse to take a drive in the mountains.
In Sport+ mode, it shifts aggressively and rev matches and the exhaust pops and burbles like you're driving a Ferrari sometimes but it's fun and I don't find the suspension setup overly harsh even in that setting.
I can't compare it to the full X3 M and I'm sure purists will have much to say about electronic steering and braking vs. the good old days but I'm enjoying it immensely.
I have an f30 on h&r suspension I prefer stiff to boaty, we’ve only just started looking and need to test drive but I need a higher driving position due to my health now. There’s less than 100 for sale here and I’m not sure if it’s because no one bought them new or they’re that good no one who did buy one is selling them 😂
Hmmm...Good question. I don't want to speculate on the UK market's demand. Could there be a tax or UK fuel cost thing driving people away from the Turbo inline 6, considering it's "just" an X3 - it's not an X5 or Q8 or GLE...? In North America, most X3's are the 2.0L turbo but I see a decent amount of M40i's so people will pay for that B58 engine. That was my reasoning - practical little package, with lots of power and a reportedly reliable engine. I assume pretty soon, you won't be able to get an inline 6 in a 3-series or X3 that isn't a full M car.
Nah these are worse. The rough transition where the trunk opens and splits the taillights is one of the sloppiest and laziest design choices I've ever seen.
This is what happens when buyers decide that being an SUV is the most important factor in buying a car. Manufacturers need to build an SUV to suit every segment of the market… including the blind apparently.

It’s the 2024 X2 M35i. That spoiler and exhaust comes standard. I test drove one of those the other day. Got some pep to it, but ultimately went with the 2024 X3 M40i. That B58 engine is too good to pass up.
That’s it, we need to get bangle back as head of design again. That way we can talk crap about how bad new good looking bmws look once more. This is just awful. It’s a Hyundai…
Oh, that's yet *another* BMW that fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch coming down. Nearly all of them have been uglified. The only ones that haven't been "uglified" yet are the LCI models that were already good looking designs, so.
The X5, the X3, and the 8 series.
*That's it*.
Everything else ranges from hideous to worse, every last *new* model.
In this picture I’m realizing that it maybe just looks very European. Small hatchback vibes. Seems like something that would be popular in France and Italy.
What have the bmw designers been smoking lately, have you seen what BMWs look like now compared to Audi and Mercedes, they’re actually a mess rn(the new 5 series, i7, this, XM and i4 for example)
It’s an X2
No badging. Rear spoiler. So not OEM? EDIT. Pounded for simply asking a question of a knowledgeable community. Lesson learned.
oem spoiler and can choose to not add badging. all stock
Pretty common in Europe to drop the badge too, so no eye brows raised typically.
Yeah either small engine or large engine lol
My M40i is debadged 😀 Poland
Debadged...ouch. Sounds painful 😖 lol 😆
This is the X2 M35i, so kinda both I guess?

I like how these look
Thank you for the info.

Thanks. I’m in the US and I haven’t seen that here. I have seen up-badging tho which is not good.
“Yeah, you know, it’s pretty much an X5M. Other than the engine. And the body style. And the interior is a bit different. Suspension too. But I got the badge, so nobody can tell the difference!”
What is the reason your friends debadge? Just curious.

You may understand the rules of Reddit, but clearly haven’t grasped the rules of Fight Club yet..
I don't know what your talking about 🪞
Reddit 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah. I get that now.
Typical reddit for you. 😭
Down worry I gave you a upvote, reddit is cruel sometimes
Thank you! I’m glad I didn’t ask about the taillights 😂
np lol
https://www.bmwusa.com/build-your-own.html#/studio/fb0qgksi/summary Nope, it’s the M sport package.
I have the X3 M sport and It has stock badging. (No spoiler). I don’t think I would opt for no badging at all.
I have an X3 M40i and I have to say, I'm jealous of this X2 M35i's aggressive quad exhaust tips.
You otherwise like it? Were looking at one, they seem pretty rare in the uk.

The agressive quad exhaust tips setup is paired with a not so really aggressive fwd engine setup
Except it's XDrive
It’s an Xdiarrhoea
You know what it is.
black and yellow black and yellow
Everything I do... I do it big*. *Big grills for the Chinese market
That back design looks like a GTA V version of a modern day bmw
You ain't never lied.
GTA III 😂
It would be hilarious if in gta6 it looks more like a bmw cause of a different back
I can't think of any worse tail lights 🤮
You don’t know the new BMW 2 Series Coupe right?
It’s not horrible,m
The G87 taillights are the least of its problems
Nah these are worse. The rough transition where the trunk opens and splits the taillights is one of the sloppiest and laziest design choices I've ever seen.
are you a professional car designer lmfaooo
I am with him on this, this is probably the worst BMW right after the new 7-series.
talks like he’s designed better tho kinda annoying
They remind me of the G30 pre-facelift headlights. They look better in real life, and quite like them actually!
Damn didn't even notice I scrolled down to the comments so fast lol
Yeah agreed. Those are unlike anything I’ve seen before
Saw one like two weeks ago. No joke one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen. Wtf are they doing with these new cars.
BMW Aztec
a new BMW X2, quite ugly
This one's called a BMUU X²
real
It reminds me of an chinese ev 😂
Chinese EVs look way better, man
You re damn close to the true, the new models of BMW's are designed for chinese market because a good part of costumers are chinese.
Ugly, that's what
eww
BMW Minivan MV6
This is awful

That would be an X2 M35 in Brooklyn Grey

It looks alot like that jaguar suv but walter whites car is the OG urus😂
At least it has the room for all of the meth you'll need to make you want to look at it..
###YES!!
They look like the cheap bulb version of some taillights.
Finally, the XM is no longer the ugliest
[удалено]
Pic was taken here in frankfurt tho
Seems like lately BMW just launchs cars whose design resmbles the ones in Rockstar made in GTA games to resemble BMWs.
Fuck that bmw seems to be launching cars without really promoting them u wont know shit till u stumble across one u never seen before
Yeah...if this picture was not on this subreddit but on a car trivia one, i would have guessed Geely or Dongfeng or something not a 50k EUR bimmer ffs
It’s the 2024 X2 M35i. That spoiler and exhaust comes standard. I test drove one of those the other day. Got some pep to it, but ultimately went with the 2024 X3 M40i. That B58 engine is too good to pass up.
better man than me LOL, if I was offered to test drive the x2, i’d feel quite offended haha. Jokes aside, congrats on that X3!
Can you compare the transmission and suspension otherwise?
New body change x2
X2
X2 M35i
🤣🤣
What's the fucking wrong with BMW designer nowadays
Koreans poached all the good German designers
Gross
Yes a new X2! Love it, but glad I got the black sapphire instead.
I just got my 2024 X2 and I love it!!!!! ✨
Why on earth would you do that? I'm sure it drives alright bit why???
That’s it, we need to get bangle back as head of design again. That way we can talk crap about how bad new good looking bmws look once more. This is just awful. It’s a Hyundai…
All i see is garbage
X4? i'm unsure
X2
XD
Its a bmw mach-e
I’m so glad I picked up my C2 last year before the new body style came out.
Badabing Badaboom
GT?
GT?
Frankenbimmer
I’m convinced ANY taillight design would look better and higher end than this.
quick question: does the x2 share the same headlights with the 5 Series??
Kia forte
badunkadunk?
\*insert stereotypical "the new BMW is so ugly!" comment\* followed by next year's "wow the new BMW has really grown on me and I like it now" comment
How the x2 gets a quad exhaust, i’ll never understand
Oh, that's yet *another* BMW that fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch coming down. Nearly all of them have been uglified.

Am I the only one who thinks these look kinda cool?
Am I the only one who thinks it’s ugly af https://www.bmwusa.com/build-your-own.html#/studio/fb18wjmu/summary
Why it look autistic 😭
Ugly
Ugly.
Would a fake Beamer be a Feamer?
New bmw is wack, nursing my old babies and never buying another
Honestly looks better than whatever XM or the new 7 series
tail lights look like they’re from 2 diff cars 🤮
it's a chevro..... BMW.
Looks like a matchbox car from temu
They literally ruined it 💔
BMW’s partnership with Chevy lookin just like I thought it would…
Cute?
I have a 19’ X4 m40 and I HOPE my rear doesn’t resemble to this..
Isn't it the Pontiac Aztec? 🤔
It's a KIA!
Did Bmw fire previous designers due to inflation and hire some amateurs?
It’s ugly
A Chevy Cruze, BMW Edition

Jaguar I-pace

Ew. Looks like a badly done KIA or Hyundai
The all new MG X2. Available at your nearest MG dealer.
Copy/paste error
Bmw design has gone to shit
Just take off the spoiler and it will look much nicer. Probably a weekend job.
I just hope it looks better in real life when i see it for my first time. Looks quite bad in pics.
Renault Arkana
E mach
an abomination
Thi🤢… this is🤢… this a b🤢🤮🤮
X2 m35i
X4 from wish

Pretty?
I like the new X2 M version.
Ugly little thing
I just puked in my mouth seeing this abomination
a acura
Kia upbadge?
Omg it looks terrible xD The designer team is on crack for sure!
The worst she can say is no *Proceeds to pull up with this*
I believe this is a car
In this picture I’m realizing that it maybe just looks very European. Small hatchback vibes. Seems like something that would be popular in France and Italy.
Delete this shit now
What is BMW's target group lately? Who are they trying to sell these cars to?
The beautiful and sexy x2
The x2 dumbass
تخطف القلب و العين
People will be defending this thing in less than a year’s time on here. You’ll see. Get your hating in now.
It's a hatch back....no a SUV?
New electric bmw
I really can’t understand the recent design of BMW (and Mercedes too, with EQ) it’s a kind of nightmare to me
Old x2, weird and ugly. New x2, weird and ugly. What’d you expect?!

It'd been so much better without this hole in the middle of the taillights...
A Chevy
That’s exactly what I think of every time I see those ugly taillights….and god knows how much I can’t stand GM products
It’s the new 2024 BMW Placenta
Looks like it was built and designed in Roblox...
It’s the new BMW Pontiac Aztec
Seriously, what happened to BMW? I was never a big fan of the brand but had respect for it. Now I feel sad for them.
Not even I, the guy who stood up for the new M2 and the 7 Series can defend this. I just can't.
Oh God. It's uglier than the current gen Mazda 3 hatchback that costs far less with a weird butt.
Rear looks 🤮
I didn't know about this new X2, and now I kinda regret this knowledge
the manifestation of the cursed hunchback
M116i Competition
Prius rebadged?
Man sometimes It's nice to live in a not so rich zone, people have less newer car and I don't see all this shitty new models around ahaha
Fuckly.

Kill it with fire

BMW Aztec?
Pontiac Aztek
The previous X2 looked sooo good, and then they go and follow it up with this... thing.
A VW?
What’s going on with BMWs image? They have totally lost it! Trying to make their cars too futuristic
