Thanks guys regarding the dash! I had the aftermarket wood but it didn't look right so I removed it. I still wanted to break up all of the black in the dash so I opted for PGP paint (Metallic Silver lightened with a Satin clear coat).

The dealer's price of $160 for two plastic vents is what's driving me to paint the grills instead. I would love for someone to add up all of the items on RealOEM for a X5... I bet the cost would be more than a Ferrari. In addition, I have seen photos of painted vents on Car Domain and here...



All I want to know is how to remove the nozzle or how to disconnect the washer and heater wires, then I will mask the spray nozzles and paint.
