The badge on the back of your X5 is one of the first things people see, and on a car with black trim, black wheels or a dark paint color, the factory finish can look like the one piece that did not get the memo.
The IND Black Painted 40 Trunk Emblem replaces the factory 40 badge on your G65 X5 tailgate with a gloss black or matte black version, so the rear end looks finished and cohesive.
A Genuine BMW 40 Emblem, Not a Replica
Each emblem starts as a genuine BMW 40 badge (BMW part number 51145A8CD97), so the size, shape and fitment match the factory badge exactly. IND paints it in-house in your choice of gloss black or matte black.
Can I Install It Myself?
Yes. High-strength 3M automotive tape comes pre-applied and the emblem goes right back in the factory location. No drilling and no new holes.
