Bought it from Ebay. They are black plastic, fit is not as good as the OEM of course but only I can see it. I might try to keep the chrome circumference from the OEM one and swap in the black bars, they seem to be interchangeable.

I installed the:
- Black Grill. Now I have to powder coat the 2 lower grill so they can match nicely
- 12mm front and 20mm rear spacers (They fit the car perfectly, it is not too aggressive, I love it) And the finish was pretty nice on them too!
- M liscense plate frame, Looks pretty slick! Gave it 3 coat of mate clear coat, these things tend to degrade with the seasons, hopefully it will last a little longer ( I know it is not an M but it fits the car really nicely. Will look even more in place without the X5 badge)

Tried some LED bulbs But I think I might need to code them Vi@ Bimmer code. They flicker. bought them on ebay I'll keep an update when I get them to swap them out.

Here are a few pics
