Not sure which one I like better, leaning toward the italic one which you can only buy from IND right now.

Won't lie, jealous of that paint color - much better than the blue currently offered in the US. Woulda gone that route if it was available.

Tanzanite Blue II, available on X5/x6/X7 as a Priority 1 Individual paint upgrade (at least on those with M Sport package).

I was thinking to replace the M50i badge on the back with something like 1.8Turbo.

Getting the grills wrapped tomorrow in Gloss Black.

I am really struggling what to do with the rear X5 and 40i badging. I want to get the OEM sizing in Gloss Black. The IND shipped to Canada would cost $400+ CAD. Looking for an economical solution.

Can you share where did you purchase the black M emblems for the front fenders?

I found them on eBay. The are made out of ABS and I've had them on for 2 years and still look like new.

do you mean X5 sDrive40i? (not 4.0)
seems difficult to find...even OEM chrome ones on BMW parts sites. how badly do u want them blacked? can purchase off-brand ones from BG, eBay or AliExpress and contact iND if they will paint them for you. they did that for my 45e (though they used OEM emblems), which i ended up selling cuz i ultimately went badgeless.

Does anyone know where I can get the X5 and xdrive40i OEM badges in gloss black (same size and italicized)? It's for MY21

^^^Thanks but every time I go to all these OEM sites, I think it's only the shiny chrome version since it's "OEM." See below as an example...

Wow! Did you put an M40i badge in the back? Is there even such a thing? X5 M40i?

silverstar335 · 11-21-2021, 07:02 PM

Part number 51142472837 is the OEM X5 emblem in gloss black.

Btw, it is not italicized.

FYI - the OEM gloss black for part number 51-14-2-472-840 is NOT the italic format of the G06,

I ordered the part from BMWPROSPARTS and 2 weeks later finally received the part. Opening the package to find the emblem in the regular font format to the X6's M50i in gloss black even though what's pictured on their website displays the italic wide font of the X6.

I contacted BMWPROSPARTS support and Britney assures the restocking fee with sorry its not what's pictured on the site. So heads up if you have a G06 X6 and want the italic font in gloss back.

heat gun or blow dryer, floss and something like 3M rubbing compound for adhesive cleanup

2nd that only I use monofilament fishing line. As a fisherman I have tons of it. However, I NEED to have and use more dental floss for other reasons lol!

chefwong · 07-17-2022, 07:11 AM

fwiw, if you're ocd, you're going to do s mild polish regardless.
They make (rubber glue strip wheels) that you can run over the leftover VHB that remains. It does make cleanup a breeze

Blacked my back emblems out today. Huge improvement. Wonder why this isn't an option from the factory. It should be!
