Both the "M" badge and the 525i both come off pretty easily

I would advise using an old credit card to slide underneigh them and a solvent like "StickyStuffRemover". It being a nice new(ish) car, you shouldn't be left with a nasty outline like I did with my E28. Even if you do, bit of cutting compound/T-cut works a treat.

Up to you really. Having a 525i is quite nice and is a badge to be proud of if you ask me...

Cheers Daz, think i'll leave the 525i badge alone.

I'm not a fan of M badges unless it has a 3 or a 5 after it.

I do like the German-flag M badges though. Like the one I have on mine (Below). Dunno, find them quite fruity :rolleyes:

Yes the German flag colour M bages look good, seen them for a fiver on Ebay.

Don't get the cheap ones... The colour fades and the rest just "pits" after a short while :o

Debadge FTW !

23453454% agree. I paid like 7quid a badge and you can barely see the german flag anymore, it's just white.

They are coming off as soon as the car hits the road again

Mine is completely de-badged. It's great when you pull up next to someone that thinks they have a chance!

They don't know it's a 300bhp monster lol.

I need to change all the BMW badges on my car, the front/back and wheels. Need to get some "Sticky stuff remover" first though....and some new black badges.

      Front windscreen washers

      Hi Dave. In my opinion the squirt is weak, it only reached about a third of the way up the windscreen. The hose has been completely changed from the pump to the first jet, tank and filters have been removed and fully cleaned. It works but weak when the car is not running, but as soon as i start the car the pump works for about 3 seconds before stopping then nothing. The rear is working fine, it's just the fronts.

      great info! 5 X 120 pattern. I believe the x5 uses 10" front and 11" rear?

      wheel fitment

      Morning Terry Welcome to the Forum Are they BMW OEM or After Market ? If they are after market then check load capacity (I have read of cracking) and off set to clear callipers, you say 20" x 5 ? Is that studs I hope not width ? or are you looking for a spacer saver spare? If so don't forget the Jack and wheel brace (I know a few who have 😂) If you aren't aware check www.realoem.com it is a BMW online parts website put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box then check the wheels/tyres section you will get all wheel sizes including off set Hope this helps Dave

      New Owner Thoughts – 320d 2l M Sport Touring Xdrive 2019

      Great feedback Richard I am afraid all cars are becoming gimmicky the designers need to understand that because a Microchip has the capacity you don't need to use it !! As you say some good but an awful lot irrelevant being an old bloke even when I got the 4.6is X5 (2003) it had a reverse camera and sensors. Being my age and having spent many years turning and looking when reversing I had owned the car a fair while when reversing one day a passenger said "thats cool" you have a camera why don't you use it ? The current X5 has camera's and when parking/reversing I still turn to look where I am going 😅 Just stop using the bit's you don't need Most important though ENJOY your Beemer Dave
