Grille Chrome & Black Part
I saw this picture of a grill for the X5M Individual that is chrome on the outside with black slats. I really like the way it looks and I hope that this part will be available to order soon, preferably without the model designation. I have the all black grille but would prefer chrome surrounds.

Have you seen this? They seem to have every color combo. They are not cheap tho: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1576123

I will be picking up my X5M on the 20th and it will have this grill. I have a replacement grill and I will be removing the original as soon as i get the vehicle home. If your interested we can work something out.

BMW finally realized that this is how it should have been done in the first place, IMO stock is too blingy in such a huge grille and all black looks muted, like no grille at all, just a huge hole, specially on dark colors.

Does anyone have the part number for the chrome-surround X5M non Comp grille? I've only been able to find the all black Competition version so far.

I prefer the opposite, but as a result I do have chrome with black slats now available. Combined my OEM chrome with an OEM Shadowline. If anyone is interested in it let me know.

How did you combine the two, can you disassemble the slates from the grille? Or is this still available

The grill is made of 3 pieces. The surround, and 2 sets of slats.
The slats are held in by several Clips. There is a set of slats for each side. I ordered a “cheap” black grill off of Amazon. Took that one apart the same Way. Switched the aftermarket black slats into the OEM chrome surround and it fit perfectly. The clips on both grills can be difficult to do, but possible without breaking. I did break one clip, and it was on the OeM one! Seemed cheaper then thr Amazon one!!!! |

Yeah I used an OEM shadowline to combine the two. Tight fit and recommend having another set of hands when clipping them back together. Some aftermarket parts don't sperate so I'd recommend trying to grab a used shadowline. And I did already sell the inverse.

grille option
so basically i bought a cheapo x5m grille off ali express and took it apart.
the centre separates from the surround. I wanted to keep the cerium grey surround on my m50i so i pulled the single slats out, clipped in the double slats and voila. took me about 30 mins to do. |
