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) |

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. |

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?

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

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.

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 |
