I've never seen an emblem with blue outer ring as yours. Maybe someone replaced the originals with this one and used cheap adhesive?

And how do you know it was made in the US? US plant don't manufacture right-hand drive cars unless it was manufactured in Germany, shipped to US, stayed in a US warehouse for 10~15 month and shipped to Colombo.

Also as others mentioned don't expect large SUV to do well in fuel. You might need to look for Prius or something like that. What you get is actually good for motorway driving.

Hope dealer will sort out your issues and enjoy your new ride!
I am not really worried about fuel anymore, as got more things to worry about. All 4 emblems were replaced. Emblem comes in this color for all their new edrive cars as well. I was told all X5s are assembled in USA.
It is very unfortunate that I never enjoyed a single drive in this car. Almost every day it's a test drive as had to experience different noises, or had to listen carefully to see if the noises got worse.

One consolation is that they will look after the car for 2 years.
