The prior owner had BMW install those (service history docs show he paid over $200 for them, OUCH!).

The X was produced in 8-03, one of the last M62/NV125 TC E53s.

^Wow, $200 for logos? That's nuts. When did XDrive actually start on E53's? I didn't think that happened until the 2004 model year. Yours must be one of the first!

X-Drive wasn't available until the 09/2003 production date - it was only available with the N62 engine.

It's funny how much people will pay for vanity to advertised things the car doesn't even have. I think it's like one of those things where people just plaster ///M emblems all over a non-M car :rolleyes: Heck, BMW themself is doing exactly that these days with all those "M-sports" packages :(

That shot makes my pockets tight!

I hope that's not a bad thing. :confused:

Mine is one of the last non-X drive E53s (final weeks of production).

Wow previous owner paid $200 for the Xdrive badge. At that price it could have been a DINAN.

^Dinan badge is only $60 ;) but you have to have enough points

Congrats TMV,
