Here are some pics of my build. I’m almost done. Just waiting on the Renegade rear diffuser to cover up the hideous tow hitch port and Maxton side skirts which were at the time of ordering, 8 weeks on back order. Then maybe spacers at some point. Also might do new wheels at some point but currently enjoying how my non-run flat 21’s ride on these horrendous RI roads. Enjoy!

*3 stage paint correction then System X Max G+ coating (aviation grade ceramic)
*Vivvid Gloss Black Vinyl wrap (top half of car and roof, also ceramic coated)
*Black door handle covers (ceramic coated)
*Fresh gloss black powder coated wheels (face and drums ceramic coated)
*M50d gloss black fender badges
*IND gloss black trunk badges
*IND painted (Alpine White) front and rear reflectors
*Maxton front lip
*50-year M roundels (front and rear)
*OEM floating center caps
*Auto Technic M style gloss black mirrors
*0% thermal windshield tint/film
*M60i Exhaust tip covers
*Alpine subwoofer (installed with Technic PNP harness)

We all have our tastes. I would leave the car all white with black wheels and black trim/exhaust or do an all-black wrap. Not to bash, but the car looks great.

Looks amazing! I wish we could find a way to graciously cover the tow hitch

Renegade covers it and comes with a removable plate so you can still access the tow hitch, but it's $2500...

Future Designs covers it too but they don't have a cover, and it's a bit too Honda Civic for me, that's about $1700...

I'll report back here once I get my renegade installed.

Awesome! Cannot wait to see your installed renegade photos! Does it replace the whole bumper or just a lower diffuser that covers the hitch area too?

Just a diffuser:

Looks good!

Looks like a Range Rover brand product.

Certainly some of the inspiration. I've always liked the way their stuff looks but they don't make a very good product IMO. Especially when compared to this platform, there really arent many strong competitors.

Do you mean M50i fender badges not the M50d
If you mean M50d fender badges where are you getting them from and what do they look like.

Add a bull bar and door decals -- you'll fit right in at the local sheriff's precinct!

My understanding is the M fender badges only come on M50d's from the factory, never on the M50i's, but I could be wrong.

[X5M50D]

Production of the M50d engine ceased in 2020/2021 so I very much doubt there would be M50d fender badges available. If so I want one!
I suspect its M50 possibly with an "i".
But please let me know if I'm mistaken.

[tkelley86]

So it's just an "M" logo on the fender with no numbers or anything but they only put them on the M50d putside the US AFAIK, like this one from Australia
