Thats exactly I was thinking. Thanks Alan to point it out.

LOL! I've been saying this from the beginning... even if I had the X5M, I would rip this piece off immediately. In my honest opinion BMW sometimes put too much emphasis on badging. On my X5 I removed the xDrive 35i ASAP.

However, I did keep the X5 emblem in the rear and switched it out with a iND black gloss.

when purchasing my X5M i asked the dealer to remove the badging when it goes through prep and only leave the roundel and they asked why and i said i easily counted 22 "///M" logos on the vehicle. the only ones that remained were the ones embossed into the headrests and woven into the floor mats, the cluster and shifter and even that was just too much.

Just for your info.. if that is real carbon fiber it's not a good idea to put it over the antenna as it blocks any reception.

Hi,

Figured I would bump this as it is the closest thing I could find.
Is there a DIY page or info to remove the existing brushed silver ones that I have on my 2017 X6?


I see in this post there was the open space to just tape the black ones. I'd like to swap my current ones out for black ones to go along with the wheels.

Thanks

I believe I did post a DIY.
If you can't find it, PM me your email address and I'll send you the pdf file.
