1. Could you please post some pics of black X5s with matte black grills, I am afraid black grills on black car won't have such a amazing contrast compared to black grills on whites cars.

2. Is there a way to replace only the chrome frame and not the entire grill?

3. How hard or east is to swap lower grills from M50d?

Thanks in advance!

You may want to search for #1, there are some BSM and CB with Black Grill, I rarely seen a Black F15 in this forum.

2. Yes you can do it. But, what are you trying to achieve? The M Performance Kidney Grill comes with gloss outer ring and matte inner slats. If you want full gloss, I suggest you to go with the dual slat since it is full gloss black. Or you can go with full matte black.

3. Here is the DIY instruction on the M50d front grill trim.

Hah if you seen the video posted you will note that I walk out with 2 kidney grill fresh from the parts dept.

Ps. the wife paid for it too

akhter · 06-10-2015, 10:11 PM

posted on a different thread as well but will share here too. also added the m50d open intake grill and trim.

the pics make it look tacky as the camera cannot handle the dynamic range with all the black. its much better in person and matches perfectly with shadowline trip. if you dont' have shadowline trim then the m sport grill with chrome surrounds is better imho.
