Oh oh. Flame suit on!

Overwhelming answer will be... yes.

Serious question... you said you are going to install a brake kit purchased from another member. Which kit is it? If it's already an upgrade from stock, why put the cover over it?

As for the decal, DuSh, between the two, my vote is also for Brembo, but pick the old-skool font, the one with all lower case letters that resemble Microsoft's Comic Sans font.

Stock brake kit from a member who went mpbk before taking delivery.

How is this a "Mtech" badge? This is just a blacked out M badge which would not have been on the car from factory. Not trying to be a dick but a bit confused on how you are differentiating M badges from each other.

This would be the only "Mtech" or M technic badge that I'm aware of. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...132251378~geb/

Definitely not put there by the factory and yes I would remove it and lastly, isn't that enough? Why do you need more M badges on a non-M vehicle?

Wait... are you saying that the M badge was attached to the trunk lid from the factory or are you saying the M badge itself is OEM and you attached it to the trunk lid?

I would be shocked. Did you pick this car up at delivery? I thought I saw in a different thread that you are the 3rd owner and it had a salvage title.

Please don't overanalyze here.. I have the MTech version.. BMW put it there.. As well as on the fender vents.

Dush, sorry about this... This thread is yours and some fellow members made it about me!

Seriously though, What is the MTech version? I'm honestly curious as I have never heard of this designation for the F15 X5. I'll drop the topic but you can't make unsupported claims as fact without proof. That's like me saying my X5 makes 400hp stock at the wheels because it was tuned at the factory but have nothing to show for it.

Base model with some M accessories.. Why would I make stuff up for something so basic?
Think about it!

Are you the original owner or did you purchase from a 3rd party?

It was definitely not put there by the factory and especially not in black.
If they were factory badges on a non-m they would be the reduced size not the standard M size found on X5M/X6M etc.

It is reduced size. May it looked big on the picture. Had to resize

iconoclast · 02-04-2018, 11:22 AM

it does not look like the factory put it on because of the body panel line where the badge is placed. additionally the adhesive tape is sticking out from under the badge which a factory badge does not do nor does it come in black. do you have a better photo?

You guys won't let me finish my workout.. Am left with a bitter taste here

!

Not sure if badge was put there.
Due to snow and salt, adhesive has been affected.
It's different when car resides in Houston than in snow country.

At this point I’m not sure if I should feel sorry for you because you were con’d by the person who sold the car to you, or if I should feel sorry for the rest of us for wasting our time with a troll. Lol!

Bahahah...I was just thinking the same. Troll’d hard or someone who is clearly confused about what they bought.

I conned him my friend... 32.5K I bought it.
Not sure who you call a troll, but I make substantive statements.
Unlike you who jumps out of nowhere making idiotic insinuations.
Get a life, will ya?

Bahahas are fine. Never claimed I bought anything but an X5 Base model with some M accessories.
If you are looking for fools, look elsewhere..
