I've been thinking about removing the x5 badge. I think it looks a little small and most other models just have the m550i or m850i on the right and nothing on the left. What do you guys think?

I think that would look better. I'm not a huge fan of full debadging a car, but I can definitely see dropping the X5 logo on the M50i.

I have never de-badged, but I think it would look good. So how do you get it off without hurting the paint?

Agree. Exactly what I used when I did it myself. I now get the dealer to remove them before delivery.

I am more of a all black badge look. Symmetry might be a issue with just eliminating one side. It also depends on the color as there is a lot of painted real estate back there to not have any badges.
Here is a tutorial I did for “black badge install” https://g07.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1753954 Last edited by MystroX5; 09-16-2020 at 06:32 AM.. |

Agree...I've seldomly seen a higher level platform debadged.
