Tailgate lettering

Hey guys, I've been just curious if someone here knows a source where we can see the rear X7 emblem badge exact dimensions? It is a real challenge for me to find such. I really appreciate you in advance.

40i or M50i? I can't remember which model you have.

I thought the "X7" badge has the same size no matter the trim version.

They might be the exact or very similar dimensions (I'm not 100% sure), but the design is different. I'm wondering what you're trying to accomplish?

I have the x40i. The first photo of X7 badge you included isn't the US version of the vehicle. Just being curious about the font dimensions and overall the lettering origins. I'd be really grateful if such source of information actually exist. Oh and btw, some else being curious about those kind of things,

My M50i X7 badge looks like the first photo.

I know BMW has this info somewhere public but not sure how to find it

Agreed. The first photo is the M50 badge.

eBay is your friend...

Unless you want to pay more for the ones at IND (which are not worth it IMHO). But I have not been able to find the "40i" in gloss black to go with the "Xdrive" emblem though (other than IND).

As far as installing the new badges/emblems, this video does a good job showing how it is done (and I have used this technique on other cars in the past).
