Why is there such a big difference in price between the M performance grille set and the Autotecknic grille set? Thank you

We are also one of the only vendors that adds 3M tape for you on the M-performance side grilles to help out with the install. I recommend looking at the front grilles with matching gloss black "X5M" logos.

That makes it 2 of us.
3M VHB double sided tape used. Double checked on quality and prepped before shipment.

Yep, me too... I'd be willing to use a sale as an excuse to buy some aesthetic upgrades for the wife's X5 M.

I would go with the OEM's over aftermarket especially with IND putting 3M tape which was a fantastic idea. I had mine installed when purchased and hate the stock fitment as its slightly loose with out the tape and doesn't sit completely tight to the body.
