Rear badging M50i
Here's a unusual question. Would be interested in putting V8TT badge on the tailgate. The G05 has the split tailgate. with the lower section folding down toward the bumper. Hard to see, but is there enough of a gap between the folded down section & bumper for the emblem?

Don't..... those that know what it is, already know it's a V8tt.
Those that don't.... won't know what v8tt even means. Why stick a $3 chinese badge on the back of a $90k car? After you sell it..... and the next owner sells it...... and the owner after that.... and eventually, it will make it into the hands of a pimply-faced teenager. Let him buy $3 chinese stick-on emblems..... not you. |

I dont care for extra badges either but I have always had custom tags on all my vehicles and this one works on mine. The exhaust note is also a dead giveaway.

It's times like these where I start to ponder my privacy paranoia and consider toning down my driving style... I love your plate but that's way too recognizable!!

I always have vehicle specific plates in my fleet. I have done this for decades. This particular BMW-V8TT plate came about last year when I first purchased my X5 and went on a 2200 mile family trip to Disney for 2 weeks. There was a Tesla SUV at the Grand Floridian that always would park next to my new X5 50i M-Sport. He parked next to me the entire time he was there. At that time I had my old plate on that was totally wrong with my new BMW. His Tesla plate read "NO-GAS4U". Ironically I had a TTV8 and at that time I knew I was choosing BMW-V8TT. In the days when everyone has a 4 cylinder TT or V6 in a large SUV, I am proud of BMW and their high performance choice of developing a V8TT. Now my X5 is a BMW magnet for all other BMW's seem to park around me even though I park way out at the end of the parking lot away from the dings and carts. For example some of my others: Last edited by MystroX5; 01-17-2020 at 12:10 PM.. |

I hated the V8T badges on my Audi S6, every boy racer or big jacked up pickup truck I was next to tried to race me. If I had kept the S6, I would have removed it.

I happen to like the badging. Let's the uninitiated know what's under the hood in a world of mousy 4 bangers & small sixes.
To my original question - anybody tell me width of gap between lowered tailgate & bumper? Last edited by mrjoed2; 01-17-2020 at 03:46 PM.. |

That Looks tragic imo. Here in the UK, you'd be instantly labelled as a Chav (a fairly undesirable adolescent who tends to wear track suits from a specific area of the country) who had driven (crashed) his car into a Halfords (popular store nationwide selling tacky shit for cars)

It gets annoying, and some of the morons get aggressive to try and get you to race. By all means do what you want, but be prepared for all the douche nozzles to be attracted to your vehicle.

Think your right, will wait & make measurements. I have the badges so should be a easy project. |

I left the forum for 24 hours and ......What the **#* happens to this thread...?????.
The OP was just looking for placement information. Someone tossed a stick of dynamite in the outhouse and now everyone has **#* on them and scared the newbies away. This is why I am not a forum moderator anymore. Last edited by MystroX5; 01-18-2020 at 09:48 AM.. |
