The updated emblem will soon appear on all BMW models

Starting next month, BMW will begin using the updated logo on all its models, regardless of the type of power unit. The design was unveiled last fall on the iX3 crossover, but at that time the changes were almost imperceptible.

The updated logo has lost the chrome inner ring, which previously separated the black frame from the blue and white sectors of the Bavarian flag. The chrome edging around the colored segments has also disappeared. Meanwhile, the blue and white colors have become more vibrant, and the black ring is now matte rather than glossy.

Previously, hybrid and fully electric BMW models were distinguished by a light-blue outer ring of the emblem, but the company has abandoned this visual separation. The updated logo, which debuted on the 2026 BMW iX3 model year, will be installed on all brand vehicles.

The emblem number for the iX3 is already known in the catalog - 51145A7A678. The badge has already appeared with some European sellers, but BMW warns that it may not fit perfectly for previously released models. It is also clarified that the new emblem will be placed on the hood, but it is not yet confirmed whether it will appear on the trunk lid, wheel caps, and steering wheel.

In addition, BMW confirmed that next month will begin the transition to the updated M logo. Exactly how it will look is not yet revealed. However, it is possible that it will also become more "flat".
