Finally got a chance to wash the road salt off of it for her - just in time for more bad weather next week.

There’s no extra padding in the arm rest, it clips onto the existing one, but is soft yes.

Many thanks.

Removed the OEM chrome hatch emblems & installed gloss black ones that should’ve been there from the factory 😎

They look FANTASTIC. Where did you get them from?

Ebay via China. I was only able to find the X1 emblem by itself. Then I ordered a full rear set for the X2 only using the M35i portion of it to round out the setup on the hatch. Even ordering 2 items like I did the price was 1/4th what they're listed for by prime vendor here in the U.S. I'd have just removed the chrome ones & rolled with deleted look before I'd pay +$220 for $5 worth of plastic.

ETA: The gloss black ones I put on the car are slightly smaller sized vs the chrome ones that came on it from the factory.

ETA 2: Had an issue with the M portion of the set requiring me to pull the plastic part away from it's double-sided tape backing, putting some adhesive on the backside of the plastic emblem, then re-affixing everything. The problems w/what caused this: 1 - The back of the plastic emblem itself is that it's not a flat surface (which is weird to me) 2- the rear hatch where the emblems go is quite curved creating a situation where the longer emblems have to bend a bit to stay firmly attached to the tape & the hatch. My fix was to fill the backside of the plastic M emblem with adhesive (making it essentially a flat surface), then re-applying the emblem to the double-sided tape.
