Just in case your near-500-horsepower BMW crossovers don’t drive the point home enough, BMW is now selling some appearance bits to make your look even sportier. It’s all a bit much. But I know there are people out there who absolutely dig this stuff. The Venn diagram between them and Apple users is probably a circle.

The exterior add-ons are made from carbon fiber (of course) and finished in high gloss to maximize the catching of the sun’s rays always, according to a . You can get a radiator grille, air breathers and door sill finishers. The X3 M can also be optioned with a roof spoiler that I find cheap-looking and tacky. And you can also get the ///M Performance racing lettering for the front, rear and sides of the car. Like a flag for the brands.

Just like how Apple needs everyone at the coffee shop to know what kind of laptop you are using with the light-up logo on the cover, the optional BMW LED door projectors tell everyone at the valet stand exactly what kind of car you’ve just rolled up in. They’ll beam the ///M logo on the shoes of your valet to remind him just how poor he is, how much he lacks ///M in his life. Success!

Inside, you’ll also get the ///M Performance Pro steering wheel that BMW says is “especially comfortable to hold” with a central marking in blue, which is admittedly cool. You can also get carbon fiber trim elements for the gear selector knob and ///M floor mats. Obviously, you are only allowed to step on these while wearing your .

There’s a bonus, too, folks: An optional ///M Performance key case which protects your key from scratches and damage. I had always used my pocket to protect my keys, but I think it’s this kind of low-class thinking that is keeping me out of an ///M car.

Plus, you get ///M Performance wheel bags. Does this mean they carry the wheels themselves to the shop? Definitely not, you’re just a little more stylish while you do the heavy lifting. I will say, though, that a wheel bag is great when swapping your summers for your winters because then you can keep the inside of your car clean during transport.

The Fiat 500's long-time-coming update was supposed to be exposed to the world at the Geneva Motor Show, but since a was exposed to the world instead, the Geneva show was cancelled. The new 500 design wasn’t going to be held back by some stupid lipid-coated virus, at least...

This Is What A Trade Show Cancelled By Coronavirus Looks Like
I’m really kind of jealous of automotive photographer George Williams right now. He got to stroll around the completely empty two days following the show’s cancelation and honestly, all auto shows should be like this. Geneva is probably the most prestigious auto show on the global calendar, and it’s...
