Carbon black. Will try to take better pictures during the day.

Gorgeous! Congratulations.

Chem14 · 11-28-2015, 08:02 PM

Sweet!!

X54TH · 11-28-2015, 08:06 PM

That is such a great colour. My brother has it on his 5 series and it's so cool on how the colour changes when the light hits it. That was the color I wanted but my wife went with white. Next X5. Very nice. You'll love it.

hanman · 11-29-2015, 02:13 AM

Love it looks amazing

Doanster · 11-29-2015, 02:29 AM

Can't go wrong with CB!

Black grille right off the bat is nice. Did you de-badge already as well? Looks like it in the pics, but maybe it's just dark...
Congrats!

Wing Co · 11-29-2015, 03:28 AM

Super, looks fab.

Yup. Debadged and black grille

elisiX · 11-29-2015, 06:33 AM

Love the CB. It would have been my first choice had I not taken a cat in stock.

Blacked out grill looks the business on CB also.

robbys3m3 · 11-29-2015, 06:57 AM

CB is great, congrats! Love the debadging also

Line Drive · 11-29-2015, 09:30 AM

I like a lot of the X5 mods guys have in this forum and wish I could do some of them (I'm leasing so my options are somewhat limited).

But personally I don't get de-badging. Even if I could do it, I wouldn't. In fact, I wouldn't have even thought of it. Would you take off or cover up the BMW logos on the hood and rear if you could, too?

I guess de-badging does give the vehicle a cleaner, uninterrupted look, especially in certain colors like CB.

I'm not judging anyone who's into de-badging! And I know there's strongly held views on this subject in this forum, so I'll just slink back to my dark corner of the world where badges are embraced.

I'm with you. I also wonder if the same people would debadge an X5M?? I do understand if people debadge one of those a**hole dealers who put their dealer badge on the car.

denniss · 11-29-2015, 11:35 AM

Yes I would absolutely remove x5m I don't like any of these cheap badges.

I am going for chrome delete look.

Doanster · 11-29-2015, 12:02 PM

I did hybrid de-badging. Left the X5, but removed the side XDrive35i. Def out of place IMO.

De-badging reminds me of cars that got a cheap paint job and the shop lost the badges. I get the practice but it isn't for me either.

Yes, that's one amendment to my no de-badging rule: Definitely remove any dealer badges. Those look ridiculous.

Doanster · 11-29-2015, 03:00 PM

Was just behind a Subie... talk about badges!
Subaru, AWD, Outback, 3.6R, and some PZEV badge!
