To be fair, I wasn't expecting the blue accent. However, I agree it looks OK with the white. Not sure how to work out whether it's standard or not! Willing to take a look if anyone can point me in the right direction...

This is ours.
Blue accent looks like model year specific update since the base & x-line versions have it in the configurator now as well. Interestingly the base EV eDrive20 comes with a completely different kidney. |

do new cars in the UK or EU have to have permanent number plates when leaving the new car dealership in the UK? just wondering if I ever move to the UK or EU and need to buy a car.
in the US, we usually leave the dealership with handwritten paper temporary license plates. in my case, I drove my X1 for a little over a month before my metal license plates arrived in the post. I only got the rear plate since my state does not use front plates. (below is an example, not my state, but basically the same style handwritten temp plate) |

A new number plate is allocated when the car is registered an put on the car before pick up. That then stays with the car for its full life unless you put a private plate on which you have to purchase on selling the car you can then transfer the private plate to your new car and you pay an £80 transfer fee.

Also, the new kidney is the only option on all iX1 now. (at least in Austria based on configurator) the original kidney is no more |

Yeah, typically the blue accent is automatically deleted when selecting M Sport, but when configuring the options, there is an option to re-instate them. It might have beeen that you re-selected this option

My 30e PHEV M Sport has the blue accent on the badges. I read somewhere that the blue accent was standard on the PHEV models, irrespective of trim level. But then BMW keep changing specs😳.

The blue on the badge cannot be changed on PHEV or EV models. It’s the kidney grille and the rear “spoiler” section that have optional blue trims
