These are the plastic mesh grill inserts that are diamond pattern. Some X5s have them in black or titanium. If your original ones are in ok shape, just slide them out and slide lock them into the new 4.8 bumper.

I thought maybe this would be due to the fact that ALL 4.8's came with headlight cleaning system therefor no choice for it in the parts system at the dealer???

I'm pretty sure it's assumed that all 4.8is bumpers have headlight washers, so I wouldn't worry. If for some reason it doesn't have it, most bumpers have the hole patterns outlined in the interior side of the plastic, so they can be carefully drilled or cut out so that the headlight washer jets and cap can fit. A Dremel would make easy work of this.
