MPPK decals

How do you guys feel about these? Came on my car when they port installed the power kit. I'm leaving them on for now I think.

Here is mine taken from a few feet away. You can't even tell its there. Those who know what to look out for will probably notice it but they will have to very close to be able to see it. Those who don't know what to look out for will probably never see it. Just the way I like it.

This car is going away soon, the new one will also have the decals

True. You can barely see them. Very subtle.

If you don't like the M performance stickers, you may as well remove your ///M door sills which are much more obvious. And the 14 other badges.


Own up to the M Sport. Don't listen to haters who will doubt the new branding. It is what it is at this point. Personally, I don't mind it.

Well, some prefer the sleeper look, but it has been my experience that you are not going to sneak up on too many people if you are driving a bmw. It is very subtle and if u like them, keep them. I will have them on mine even though its alpine white.

I like to be subtle. Is it easy to peel off?

I tried to take mine off (dealer put them on before i could intervene). Does not look like they will come off easily - the adhesive is very strong. Anyone have suggestions ?

A little bit of heat (very little!!!), some Goo Gone, and a little elbow grease goes a long way...

The estoril blue has a distinct advantage, being able to work so well with black or matte colored additions. The rocker panel stickers look great on that color! I don't think that they would contrast quite as well on my mineral gray though.

I had port installed MPPK; which means that m performance logo stickers were attached to the rocker panels. In mineral gray it is very subtle, I rarely notice it unless I'm a couple feet from the car. I debated about removing them… As I didn't really want them in the first place, but since I so rarely notice them I'll keep 'em for now.

Thank you Gentlemen.

I quite like the look of the black side decals as it matches my front spoiler, if you notice I color matched the very bottom lip of the front spoiler and also the side sills, but left the 2 upper pieces in the lip black which creates a nice line.

Thanx for comments

I dislike all decals. I'm not quite sure what the point of these is. Screams tacky.

My dealership didn't put them on and I am glad they didn't. I bought an M sport not an M3...and there are already enough badges on it. The ones on the rims are small and less visible, and the ones on the door sill are only visible when you get in.

But the decals say mperformance so does the engine cover. The m3 engine cover for example it says mpower.

I think mperformance signifies that this is NO M3/4. Notch above standard 3er yes, M3/4 NO.
