IND | F90 M5 Painted Center Grille Trim | Installation Procedure
Step 1: Pull the hood release lever twice to unlatch the hood. Subsequently, raise it up to gain access to the front grille tabs. Step 2: Use a pick tool to depress the three tabs along the top of the front grille. Afterwards, pull the grille towards you with uniform pressure to remove it. For night vision cars, please pull gently and remove the connectors / clamp the hose. Repeat on the other side. Step 3: With both grilles removed, use a pick tool to gently release the center grille trim working from top to bottom. There are tabs on each side. Step 4: To fully remove the center grille trim, gently pull the bumper extension towards you. This will free up space for the grille trim to move freely. Step 5: Installation of the iND painted center grille trim is simply a reverse procedure of the removal. Start by inserting the piece into the bumper and pushing the clips into place working upward with uniform pressure. Step 6 : With the center grille trim properly installed, snap the front grille set into place with uniform pressure. For night-vision owners, re-install the connections and remove the hose clamp.

For some reason I was thinking there were sensors behind that middle piece... That looks so much better!

We currently do not have any carbon grilles on our site. However any carbon you see for the F90 M5 on our site is genuine BMW.

Of all cosmetic items, the painted center grille piece looks to be the most mandatory, regardless if you have chrome or black grilles. That center piece makes a huge difference!

Will the front piece with the hole for the camera affect the camera/focus at all? Will it need to be calibrated as what happens to most sensors on bodywork on most luxury cars now. Basically any issues with the substitution?

It will not as the camera is not touched for the install. Only the cover gets replaced.

This will be my first mod for sure. I am not sure what BMW was thinking with the black piece for all cars.

Curious how a piece like this gets priced/painted when someone with an individual paint or better yet, the Pure Metal Silver paint job wants one.

Individual paint for the most part is no problem as we have most of the colors saved over the years.

Installed IND painted center grill trim, IND black grill, and front reflectors over the weekend. I think the painted center grill trim and front reflectors are a must for the M5.
Now I just need the Acexxon rear reflector... |

Where can I get that specific pick tool? Also, the hood lip hang over, what's up with that? Would much rather it be flush.

Are the pieces without the hole for cars that didn't get the safety option or does this camera have to do with the night vision. Want to pre-order before my car arrives. Thanks.
