X6: OEM HIGH GLOSS BLACK BADGE BMW (51-14-2-472-840)
X6 M50i: OEM HIGH GLOSS BLACK BADGE BMW (51-14-2-472-842)

Sorry for beating a dead horse here, but when I look up part# 51-14-2-472-840 it only says "black" - and just curious if it's confirmed to be gloss black?

I also can't find the "xdrive40i" in gloss black (outside of $110 on IND). Anyone have that part number for an X6? I've been looking at Brit's site but they seem to only have the M50i badge.

I'm having the same issue. Not sure If I want to pay $115 just for the xdrive badge. Might make sense to buy the black OEM X6 badge and just remove the xdrive badge.

FYI…Genuine BMW OEM gloss black badges for X5 (Part #: 51-14-2-472-837) and M50i (Part #: 51-14-2-472-839) are now available at a reasonable price from OEM BMW parts suppliers.

I just installed them on my X5, OEM badges from BMW

Definitely have to spring for the Ind black badges. The chrome ones don't work with the black trim on my white car with a black grill and M trim

Blacking out my wheels too. Will post pics when done

Went through the same thing. Couldn't stop converting over to black. Exhaust tips where done at the dealership.

Hey where did you get the fender emblem?

Font size is still 1" but square look as compared to the original chrome which was angled.

Hi, were you able to get this info. I'm planning to remove the original 'X5' and put these straight font.

This is my measurements. Blue and green are the painters tape colours.

Got them on eBay.

DBV · 03-03-2021, 10:00 PM

Just realized I never posted mine here. Got them in black from the dealer. Rears are OEM. Side M's are the smaller black (supposedly OEM) off eBay.

Loving the cleaner look.

Wow. Looks awesome!

I've Seen Things · 03-05-2021, 03:59 PM

OEM black badges on Artic Grey - except for the side M badge (Chinese fake). Cheers all.

DENtoLAS · 03-06-2021, 05:40 AM

The OEM black badge appears to be for the X5M COMP w/ the COMP package - you can see it here on this car (skip to 6:45 on the video)

Not sure which one I like better, leaning toward the italic one which you can only buy from IND right now.

The side M's? It was German eBay so that probably won't help you much, but there were multiple options available, I picked the cheapest that looked the most official. Apparently gloss black is harder to find than matte black. Go figure. They're nominally smaller than the factory side Ms, but I'm a fan of the all black. Think I paid like 40 Euros. They came with very fake looking "item numbers" on the packaging. Doubt they're real BMW parts, but who knows.

Your X5 looks amazing! I love the winter because I have the same rims for my winter setup. The summer is the bi-colour, same style. Didn't have the option in 2019 to get the black rims.

I got the same gloss fender badges. They've been on for 2 years / 2 winters and they still look like new.

I purchased 45e custom matte black badges from iND to go with newly applied stealth ppf but decided to stay de-badged
