Not many know these days what is M60i = V8
Was 50 once V8 now i6 with battery
Was 40 once V8 now i6
Was 30 once i6 now i4

Can see the trend I'm confused and know BMW's

Merc tell the world your in a bi turbo 6.3L V8
You read you respect.

BMW nothing but pointless model

Just M60i :-(

Does anyone know if any classy OEM looking badges for the X5M60i Lci are out there?

With either or all .
V8
4.4L
Twin Turbo (Bi turbo)

That would look tacky as hell.

Why do you need to shout to the world what engine is in the car? Anyone that would care already knows the engine from the model number.

That should be "Valvetronic"

while we come so far, maybe as well add "double vano" and "Direct Inject". Why not also speel out "48V" before Mild hybrid. Oh add xDrive too. so

Left side
1st row - 4.4L Direct Inject Double Vano Valvetronic HotV DOHN Twin turbo V8
2nd row - 48V mild hybrid
3rd row - x5 xDrive

On right side, lonely "M60i."

Did we miss anything?

Who is old enough to remember when American OEMs used to put "ABS" badges on their cars?

Maybe the OP can use a Dremel to make the 9 a 4.

What does the 2nd "i" means?

In the old days, I think "t" means touring or wagon. One of the "i" means gasoline power car, as opposed to "d" means diesel power

Touring international, injected. Not to be confused with the "touring" bodytype.

Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!

I believe this is a Ford style, but I bought two many years ago to put on my 2005 GTO, though I never did attach them.

Yeah, and almost as bad is that all of the 911s now have turbos but only the “Turbo” model gets the badge.

Forgot all about the other badges of the past.
That V8 Ford badge was a good looking classic.

In Australia we even had a

REDIAL TUNED SUSPENSION badge on the dash
Must have been a big thing lol
