Reflector delete mod

Side fronts and updated rear reflector delete installed. Probably a light smoke on the tail lights this Spring.

Not sure where you're from mate, but here in the US it's only a reflector, not a light!

Agreed. Looks like a state trooper's car.

Custom is an acquired taste 😄

I like MOST, not all, mods that sets their vehicles apart from everything else on the road. I'm often impressed that someone got the key and opens the door to get outside of the box and do something different.

The two tone paint work is by far one of the the most drastic modifications that I've seen done to X7 besides the wide body kits.

The X7 pickup truck is hideous, IMHO…..

If that truck could fit a 52" pallet and have a pass-thru system it would actually be dope.

Nowhere near as heinous as this 👇

I didn't realize they put those side M badges on US vehicles… I have a M50i but I don't have those, not that I want them, enough M badges as it is.

I put the M badge on it to match the M stamp that came from the factory stamped on the wheels, brakes, instrument cluster, illuminated door sill and the steering wheel.

I'd like to put them on but my OCT won't allow approximations. I assume many on here are the same way.

You can use G05 placement as reference. Just not that the angle of the side ///M badge is not parallel to the ground but the character line.

lol….I think I just used 4 fingers from the door jam and a fist from the top and just stuck them on. It's not like they have to be aligned with another one on the same side. They're on different sides of the vehicle. If you hv OCD issues, then I'd suggest you take some measurements as mentioned above. I have minor OCD issues as well and it would most definitely bother me EVERY time I walked up to the car if it was crooked 🤣

May be deceiving but those numbers don't look correct with respect to the photo.

It should be aligned with the character line but not parallel with the ground. So it's looks slightly slanted from the side.

Got it with the lining up…. Those last two photo definitely don't show 1.7" wide and 1" vertically. What is factory? Also there are different sizes to these emblems…what's factor with the size as well?

As I stated, you can use the G05 as reference and you can individually adjust from there. And yes the photos are enclosed are factory placement.

I don't have the OEM placement unless a member from a market where it's standard will chime in.

The side ///M badge is identical in size to G05/06. It's not the large.

Part number is: 51148094001
