It’s an old pre 2012 E89..they never had M badges at that time..the later badges didn’t look like that either…
Don’t have to open the door! You can’t hide good bass, that’s why I went with a high power 8”, most times I jhave to turn the bass knob down! I also just finished installing a pair of 8” Earthquake SWS woofers in the factory location behind the seats.

Why can’t I post pics of the turbos? Is it because of the labels?

If they’re obscenely powerful, this is a family website. :lol:

Your headlamps background looks very dark for OEM. But it could be the lighting in my sauna.
