What country? Pretty sure not the US. It's got digital speedo and I've never heard of this being an option until G05.

Hmm didn't see it on the builder. Do you have images of the vehicle?

Edit: nvm I don't use Instagram so took me a min to figure out I could click on his profile haha

This M40i/M50i/M50d all look ridiculous. Plus all that excessive M badging everywhere. Needs serious debadging. What happened to modesty.

tkelley86 · 09-27-2018, 06:03 PM

So is this a modified OEM document or does BMW legitimately market a "X5 M50i"?

Violator · 09-27-2018, 06:41 PM

Never heard of this...

Violator · 09-27-2018, 06:43 PM

Before and After pics.

alphaod · 09-27-2018, 06:51 PM

Well the X3/X4 is marked M40i, and there is the X5 M50d, so I can see this being legit... as tacky as it looks. At least it beats those people who put the smaller M badges on trunk lid of their cars.

I mean Mercedes changed many of these former 450 models to 43 AMG, so I guess it's the fad these days.

Violator · 09-27-2018, 06:55 PM

I’m going to BMW dealer tomorrow, or this weekend and I’ll ask if there’s such an animal.

It's got me curious too.

EDIT: I just read some car review that says BMW will sell both 2019 X5 M50i and X5 M40i, WTF?!

spike5150 · 09-27-2018, 11:05 PM

No way this is legit.

That's the iDrive display he has up not a digital speedo

Interesting you can't find anything on it on the web and there is no reason you can't photoshop a window sticker. I think this is a modified 50i that he's swapped out the badges on and did some custom work. You don't get standard OEM badges in black. The new X3/X4 that are marked M40i have a grey/gunmetal looking badge on them.
Or this is a dealer performance car that they did some mild performance tweaks and rebadged it to help sell it before the G05s hit.

Yea it's either the dealer playing games, or the owner has some photoshop mastery

Violator · 09-28-2018, 09:24 AM

My vote is photoshop.

tkelley86 · 09-28-2018, 09:58 AM

Badge sells on eBay for $30, they have an OEM part number but upon a google what populates is the standard BMW badge...

Have seen zero mention of and X5 M40i until what you just posted. I would bet against it.

Oh ya sorry my reply was to him. Haha

TOPEC · 09-29-2018, 12:28 AM

its just a 50i with m sport package. the person who made the window sticker was probably used to making the M40i for the X3, or after learning of the M50i for G05 chassis, automatically added the extra M to this window sticker. think about it, y would a M50i come with optional M Sport package at extra cost, it should've been included automatically.
