None of the other BMW X1 I saw on the road or at the dealership ever since had them.
However, in the last couple of years, I've had people on the street asking my why I put those on. (other BMW drivers, obviously) I explained that it came like that. Then I discovered this thread and apparently putting these on a US-market BMW is considered to be "fake" badging?  Are they really "fake" if they were attached to the car by the BMW factory in Germany? |
