Personally, I'm much more likely to de-badge an up spec car like our M50i because it's no ones business how much I paid for an X5.
I wouldn't debadge it. I love seeing legit bmw models and knowing some push more power then others. I love my 2021 540 and would never want others to think it was a 530. Not hating on 530s at all but just saying. When I see a nice looking 550 or m5 it puts a smile on my face.
So if you have the X5 50i I would leave as is. It's nice looking and fast and earned its respect.
