M logo missing on the wheel

J2brian703 · 12-06-2014, 07:06 PM

I came back from ED 6 weeks ago and just received the car and noticed that the M logos on the alloy wheel is missing. I checked my photo from ED and I'm sure there were logos. My dealer didn't do anything on the car so I'm sure it's the VDC who removed the logos. Anyone noticed this too?

Just tell the dealer that it fall off and they will add a replacement.

That's actually the m performance weight reduction package. It's only $1k so you should consider yourself lucky that you got it for free.

He was being sarcastic. Looks like the sticker/decal fell off.

But all 4 of them are missing. Do you think it's coincidence?

Stranger things have happened. Couldn't say for sure. I'd ask the dealer since you have proof with your picture of the wheel.

They permanently stain black from brake dust anyway.

Not if you wash your car.

OP - I see you realised its just the front quarters that don't come with the M badge then

I'm sure a quick trip back to the dealer will resolve it without an issue

I wash it non stop. It might be the armor all wheel protectant discoloring it.

its just a sticker anyway you can probably buy all 4 on eBay for cheap, but if I were you i would send the dealer a picture & demand an explanation - first world problems

openwheelracing · 12-07-2014, 06:44 PM

It fell off

joewalton · 12-07-2014, 07:43 PM

Bring it back to your dealer, your car is not really an M-Sport without those logos on the wheels.

Thankfully, we don't get those in the US. All US cars have option code S3DZA, "Omission of Lines lettering, outer".

I finally received the m sticker from the dealer. They do not know what had happened but sent me the stickers anyway.

Someone stole them. Only explanation.

And general, FYI, if there's ANYTHING wrong with your car when it arrives after ED it is 100% covered as part of the insurance that is provided with the ED experience. This even includes anything that might have happened during your time in Europe including scrapes, scratches, curbed wheels, etc. The car should be received in brand new condition. If it isn't, they'll make it right. Usually these things are all handled at the VPC before the car is released to the carrier for delivery to the dealer. The logos were likely stolen during transit or while on the dealer's property. They didn't leave the VPC that way, I guarantee it.
