Thanks for posting sockethead, it looks great. I have been contemplating putting black grills on my Lemans, but wasn't sure how it would look. I might try color matched surrounds with black slats though.
Are the black grills and vents you bought OEM? The ebay ones are tempting at $50. |

Thanks SlickGT1, you just saved me $50. I guess I'll be getting the OEM 3.0 grills at $120 or painting mine.

If you do the color matched, please post a pic. I'd like to see hoe that looks. The grilles came from Bimmian and the hood vents are BMW OEM off of ebay. The hood vents were really hard to find... Slick, to be honest, the Bimmian grilles didn't fit that well either. I had to use hot glue along the bottom of both sides to get them to stay in. We'll see whether that makes it through the summer heat... I've heard of some people having success with Plasti Dip... |

Great post Socket. I just sold my 4.8iS to my son and bought the 2011 X5M. Its amazing how good that 2006 looks even compared to the new one. He put the black gills on his and it looks great. on the LeMans Blue? OUTSTANDING. Where did you get the carbon? his steering wheel is dinged and needs a change.
He paid THIRTY DOLLARS for his gills. I dont know where tho.

I got the DI-NOC from Bimmian. It is a 3M product... not sure if it's that latest as LeMansX5 said. you can order it in various sizes and they have an installtion video which shows how to wrap an X5 steering wheel. I'd order enough to allow for at least one screw up.... I had to do my console twice |

I just found out that my GF got the grilles from Ebay not Bimmian. Don't want to slam their product when it wasn't even theirs

Lemans/Black Grills
Picked up a pair of used 3.0 grills in great condition off of ebay for $30 and painted the surrounds Lemans Blue this weekend. I also plasti-dipped the hood vents until I order the OEM black ones. I used plasti-dip so that I can peel the paint off and go back to silver if I ever want to. I'm very happy with the new look!
