Imola red sounds better than carbon fiber red because its more solid and simple looking

whatever floats ur boat, but i do not see red/imola red emblems lookin good on a silver x5, and no its not cuz i have a red x5 with red emblems so i dont want u to copy me lol i just think itd look real odd, black would be cool, or carbon fiber black would be real sick and esp the carbon fiber ones u can actually get as an emblem not a sticker


BUT if u do want the red emblems, then i suggest going with solid red, i got imola red ones for my imola red car, and the stickers were darker then my paint, so i went with the solid red, and it came up to be a much better match with my imola red paint..so judge it from that, if u want a deep dark red color then go with imola red.. if u want a pure red like "nike/jordan" shoes then go with solid red.

Looks like its gonna be solid red! I want red so it can be noticeable and different than other X5's. I like to be unique, and it will still look good!

Put the boring silver ones on my X to match the paint. Go with red, I like mine, but they don't stand out. Use a water/soap/alcohol mixture to apply like you would with tint and it's a breeze. Mine have been on for months with no issues.

How exactly are they applied? Are they just stick ons? and what do u mean about soap/water/alcohol mixture? is that used to clean the roundels first

yes they are stick ons and the stick on pieces are perfectly cut out for your steering wheel, wheels, front/rear roundel. Also i never used the alcohol/soap mixture, i simply either washed my car with car soap, or just took a damp microfiber and wiped the roundels before applying the stickers.
