I purchased two of the emblems, and now I have a few questions. The backing on the back of the badges peels back very easily and the adhesive doesn't feel very sticky. Is that normal? It seems they'd fall off very easily. Do I need to heat them with a hair dryer? Should I add another glue or adhesive? Thanks in advance for the help!

I normally trim the backing paper so its no larger than the emblem, this way I can see the edges of the emblem, then I use painters tape applied to the paint to mark where I want it to go. See the attached pic of a guy doing this on a Tahoe, same idea. Once you have it where you want it, peel off the adhesive starting at the end you will apply first, press a bit to make the emblem start to stick but only pull off the backing paper as you go, don't pull it all off at once because all you need is one knee jerk reaction from a passing bumblebee and before you know it, you've applied it crooked So, stick the first quarter inch or so, stand back, take a look, if all is ok, then peel and stick as you peel. . |

I took them off because I didn't like the look on the front charging door of the 45e. The difference with an X5M is quite obvious don't need the badges for that. |

it appears M Sport package emblems tend to be smaller in size than M model emblems

I had my badges deleted as part of the order. Actually in Germany it is common that people have all Badges removed including the ones on the back. I am not sure the exact reason except don't feel the need to show what exact model/engine size they have.
