I ordered an extra set of emblems from the dealer I use, here on the East Coast. He gives me a 25% discount on all OEM parts, for being an E60.net member. I then had these emblems (along with the extra set of 4.8 Kidney Grills I bought from him too), custom painted a high gloss black. I did all the rebadging myself. I used painters tape to align everything just perfectly. Debadging involves a hair dryer, dental floss or fishing line, some Goo-Gone and some Detailing Polish.
Since I custom ordered the X5, I had over a month to get everything prepped and ready for the arrival of the car. All the items that have been done so far were sitting in my garage, awaiting the arrival of the new vehicle.
Anyway, thanks for all the compliments guys. I appreciate it.
