Thanks! I'm quite familiar with realoem.com, but I had no luck finding it there. I have owned and worked on BMW's for ~9 years, but only E34 and older models. Whenever I've needed some spare parts, I bought the parts used. If the parts were too expensive used, I would just buy a parts-car and take whatever I needed from there. There is no dead cheap parts-car X5's, and not a lot of used parts either. Especially for the facelift models.
I know from experience that some parts in BMW EPC might show up on diagrams where you wouldn't expect them to be. I've looked several times on realoem, but no luck yet. It seems like I would have to buy the whole front bumper, as the slats seems like a part of the bumper. On my car the slat-part is coming loose, and I'm almost 100% certain that it's possible to remove and replace it. I'm just hoping there is a part number for the slats only.
