BMW E53 Pre-faclifted Grills

Okay I am also in need of some new grills for my 2003 X5 4.6is but I want a qu ality set that is the black chrome or black smoked chrome ones. I usually purchase these from Schmeidman for my other BMWs but they do not have any of those for the X5. Does anyone have a source of good quality that you would recommend? ECS tuning does not carry any of these types that I am looking for.

Check scopioneusa.com for black grills both matte and the gloss black as well as carbon fiber with matte slats. I actually found the carbon fiber at a special price of I believe $164 delivered and I just installed it it's a perfect fit and good quality. That was on eBay and it's a scopione. I don't know about the chrome ones. I have titanium silver on my 2005 4.8is and the black grill really pops nicely. I will be installing the Black oem hood grills tomorrow.

Is this what you want? Looks pretty good to me...Scopione BMW 00 03 x5 E53 Black Chrome Line Glossy Front Kidney Grille | eBay

The finish looks to be good but the picture that they show appears to be for a post face lifted (shape of grills) X5 vs my pre-faclifted version.

Yes the photos often do not match the item, but the description is correct.

Call them. I am very pleased with my purchase from them.
