Regardless of if they do, please don't. There is nothing Motorsport about the i3.

Type-R stickers work on any vehicle...and look just as tacky as ///M badges on non-M vehicles.....

BMW put ///M-badges on M-Sport vehicles. But they only put the anniversary motorsport badges on M-Performance and M-cars. Some friends got them delivered on their new i4 M50s from the factory.

Modern BMW IS tacky.

The i3s is a sporty performer and should have had an M from factory. But then in 2019 BMW didn’t understand the situation in the car world. M was for fossile fueled cars. See the M made it on the i4.

I'd say BMW lost the plot when they started putting M badges on cars with turbos, automatics, and EPS, so....

So basically the E36 M3 with automatic transmission in the mid nineties, then? I kind of agree. For me the M meant Manual back in those days.

I would however have liked to have an M-Sport package on the i3S. Particularly some sportier seats, but also a DSC-Off button, and sport tires.

Ha, all my e36 M3s were manual.

... and I'm currently manual swapping my e60 M5.
