Thoughts on these emblems

kevoncox · 07-16-2021, 08:19 PM

New owner of a F15 50i. I have already started to make small tweaks to make my X5 my own. I am looking at changing the emblems on the bonnet and rear. Just sourcing on....

1. Chaning emblems. Are people disgusted when they see a change of emblem
2. These emblems specifically. I have a Carbon Black F15 (Always thought carbon black was a deep Black until I drove 300 miles to pick my baby up). I want to see which version did you guys think would go better with my color combo. I've planned to pair it with a black grill and black wheels in the near future.

2nd emblem in reply

I actually don't like the fully blacked-out emblems but are they frowned upon?

Next thing in this line is a swastika and I'm pretty sure you don't want that.

Black badges are not exactly crowds favorite. Maybe just stick to the oem badges and find some other ways to make this car your own?

I also have the gloss black roundels from IND. Best looking badge IMO.

Lol what prussian eagle has to do with BMW? Just stay with OEM or IND logo and enjoy your car.

It's the imperial eagle. It's a traditional icon of Germany.

IMO, that's doing too much.

What separates IND from the tons of other badges. Haven't purchased anything from them so this is an earnest question.

When it comes to the roundels, they use OEM.

I would go for the "IND Painted Hood Roundel" but unfortunately shipping is way to expensive.
