M50i black badges
Thanks to multiple members on this board, I was able to find and purchase OEM black badging to the complete the shadowline look on my 2021 M50i.
Why they keep the rear badging cerium gray when extended shadowline is selected as an option is beyond me. I am not handy at all, but followed advice here and it turned out great! Next... front reflectors.

I didn't think about that. Could be true. I wouldn't have bought them unless they were genuine BMW logos , just glad they have them.

Definitely completes the look of shadow line trim
I'm trying (making little progress) to convince the wife to let me de badge her M50i instead. If it was a X40i she'd have no problem with de badging. I on the other hand would de badge a X5MC |

Yes dental floss was good but still left quite a bit of the residue and black sticky stuff that takes quite a bit of work to remove. Heating teh residue was key. I compared them side by side and they looked the same for the X5 and M50i lettering from factory. I removed completely and just did exact measurements and marked with masking tape.

Congratulations on acknowledging the #1 most successful and productive state in the Union. Now: do you think women are out of line having an opinion about cars? Is it your actual belief that that's "a man thing"?
I think you might have eaten a few too many paint chips as a kid.
