Black logo AliExpress

Hi all, just got this black X3 logo in from AliExpress. As I have an Alpin White X3 with all possible parts in black only except for the X3 logo I ordered this.

It’s a bit bigger then the original logo... what do you think of it?

And I’ve got the logo on the new models leftside downwards position. Should I put it right-top position?

Looks like a F25 style X3, I believe that was longer

Longer version may look better in higher position, remove your old one and see if you can do a quick temp fix in both positions to see which you prefer

I would go for option #4.
Just leave it off

Choosing from these options, I would go for option #3. Left bottom.
Seems like it's a bit too big for the right top option #2.

Seems very dominant on the bottom. I would put it on top but further to the center, because otherwise the bottom of the "3" is too close to the rear light.

No worries, I restore classic cars, I know what I'm doing not a single scratch was made. (The curve of the blade keeps the knive from touching the paint if you do it right.)

I would also vote for option nr. 4 - no designation at all. Especially when the "new" logo is for older model. You would be considered a fool for everybody who will recognize it.

I don't really bother about what others think of me, so that problem is solved right away

I purchased mine from ebay from a US seller and had them in a couple of days. I didn't check to see if he makes M emblems or not. I went black on black on my AMG. It looks awesome in real life.
