My new X6 M60i is in the middle of PPF application and I am trying to find black badges to put on when they finish.

I had ordered a set from IND, but for whatever the reason, the adhesive they came applied with was barely sticky and nothing like a good 3M automotive type adhesive.

The shop did a test fit and said they do no have much confidence in long term reliability compared to other badge brands and sources they have applied. So they recommended I find an alternative badge set.

Are there other sources that have Black for the X6 and M60i badges?
Or should I just try eBay?

The black badges I got from IND are holding on just fine 2.5 months later so far. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mine just may be an error then. Not sure. But definitely not tacky/sticky enough for long term reliability.

I'll email them and see.

I too have the IND badges and as I recall when I applied them the adhesive side didnt seem very sticky. However, they are solidly in place after 6 months and while I have not tried I'd say they would be hard to remove.

Yep, agree that at first the don’t seem all that sticky but they hold well. They are also the same as what came from the factory from what I can tell.

And the factory badges were a bitch to remove!

Alright, I'll tell them to put the letters on and trust.

Thanks!

Thankfully mine were super easy as I took them off within 2 weeks of them having been put on from the factory. Didn’t have enough time to fully set.

When I first applied the IND badges, I noticed that the adhesive side didn't seem very sticky. Despite this initial observation, after six months, they remain firmly in place. While I haven't attempted to remove them, I have a feeling that they would be quite difficult to detach.
