Grille Fitting
Hello all, I just won an auction on ebay for a titanium grille and just realized that I didnt even ask the guy about the fitting..It was on a 2003 X5 and I need it for my '04..I think it will be OK, but not sure...

Also, do you think the chrome outline for the light assemblies are to blingy? They look OK, but I dont want my X to start looking like a cheapened Navi or Escalade...

If I remember right, the MY 04' is facelifted, and the 03' is not. It won't fit What chrome outline for the light assemblies are you talking about?

Just resell it on ebay and get the right one. Those things seem to be in decently high demand. GL.

I dont think the grille off a 2003 x5 will fit your 2004 x5,otherwise we would see a lot of us with pre-2004 x5 with the larger grilles............as these look much nicer!What is the Ebay item no.that you won?It should say there that the 2003 grille will not fit a 2004 X5!
Regarding the chrome fitting for the lights,I personally think it spoils the car and I dont believe any one here has them!!!!!!!

If you were in the US maybe. FYI, they are only $80.00 a pair brand new at the dealer. Good luck.
