As this has been raised in a few different posts, I thought I’d start a new thread on this (and I responded with a similar post in the Vendor classified section as well where there was a thread started on this in 2022).

I just picked up my custom-ordered 2025 X7 M60i last week. Since our US built cars don’t get these from the factory like they do in Europe, I want to add these to my new ride. I found these fender-mounted M badges from IND Distribution:https://ind-distribution.com/product...et-gloss-black

Before I buy them, I have a few questions for the pros here (or from anyone who may have bought and installed them on their X7):

1. Can anyone confirm that these are OEM parts and not aftermarket?
2. I assume these just stick on like the rear emblems and fit right up against the current “hockey stick” fender trim, no?
3. Is the gloss black finish on these badges a perfect match with the gloss black M trim on an M60i?

Thanks for the help, hope these will work for my new ride

I have these. I added them on right after I got my car and can confirm they are a perfect fit. I don't care as much about the "M" badge thing (as there are already like a billion of those things littered about).

My concern was the unfinished hockey stick look on the sides. These badges make the design look more cohesive and complete.

All of the color matches and they just stick right now. Have endured multiple rainstorms and the like without any issue.

Looks good. They should be there on the M60i from the factory.

I had to send away to Germany to get all oem badging on mine.





Worth it.

I have these on my 22 M50i. I purchased them from IND and they are indeed OEM as we cannot get them in the US as an option. As you stated only available on a European spec.

They are the same gloss finish as the other black gloss trim. I think they should be standard for the M variant. They look great.

Thanks Fellas. I also heard back from the IND guys who confirmed these are indeed OEM so I pulled the trigger as I think these will look great on my Carbon Black Metallic X7. Thanks for sharing your experience with them and I’ll post up a few pics when I install them

Mind sharing a pic once you have them on? I went Black as well and am just waiting for my M60 to be delivered. Curious as to your feedback as well as everyone else's. I'd be highly dissappointed if they didn't match.

Will do. I just took delivery last week and haven’t had the chance to take any pics at all yet, so I’ll snap a few once I get these and install them alongside the other little tidbits I have ordered (M Sport valve stem covers, license plate frame and tow hitch cover).

So far, I love this car but I still need to get through the 310 mile mark to open it up and enjoy all of that awesome V8 power

Good for you! Jealous you've at least got the keys and are crossing off the miles!

I just received the VIN and entered Prod queue... I've still got a bit of a ways to go... Planning on ordering most of the accessories so they can be thrown on upon pickup.

Here are few pics of them installed and I can confirm that these are a perfect match for the gloss black M Trim on the car. I think these look great and really round out the look of the side trim, and I’m not sure why these are standard from the factory in Europe but not here in the US!

looks to be available from any bmw dealer.

I have them also

[LakeTimes]

Thanks! Those look great! Putting the order in as we speak!

I received mine as well. Going to be out of town for a few days, when back will get the X7 all cleaned up nicely and add these. Will be a nice touch. Will post photos after everything is done.
