IND Glossy Black X5 Badge - 1st Mod

Hi All,
Just finished my first mod in my 2024 BMW X5
Removed the Silver X5 and XDrive40i and just installed the IND Glossy Black X5 badge. Looks much cleaner.
Thanks IND for a quality product.
Pics of the new look.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Black badges are a nice contrast, especially on lighter colored vehicles. Looking good Chastizer X5BeemerKlaus

Nice! Do they provide something that helps you get the alignment perfect? I've been looking into these but wasn't sure how I would ensure OEM fitment.

make a box with painter’s tape bordering your original badge(s). remove the badge(s). place the new badge(s) in the vacant spot(s)

or you can search the internet…

Thanks for looking out… but I have everything correct. M60i/50i have different badging as X5M

Looks great.

Just waiting on our X5 50e to get to the dealership. Already have the matte black badges from IND ready to be put on. 👍😎

CPAonthemove,
Yes, I did exactly what the other forum member posted with the pictures.
You want to make sure the black X5 badge is straight. Painters tape (blue tape) will help, so will a small level. Be very careful to not scratch the paint.
😰👍😎.

Looks great. I'm tempted to do the same. My only hang up is it won't match the front.

Do it! You won’t be disappointed. Just get the gloss version.
I kept my front as is for now, maybe sometime next year will paint it. However, it does not bother me as it.
