Anyone have ideas on what colour to pick? I think a titanium or somethign like that would look best. But if anyone has an exact BMW colour code I could use, it would be appreciated.

Part NO: 82110021339

Great question... and a chance for me to bloviate!

I always IMO thought that painting the skid plate the same color as your X would look the best. both myself and X5Dawg have done just that. Dawg is white on white while mine is tit silv on tit silv. Sometimes when you go to a different color it just does not look right.... again just my opinion!

Either way the skid plate is a good call!

Yup. Even with shipping it saves me 5 bucks as I have to pay tax if I buy locally.

Rich, great point, and when I look at photos of x5's with the skid plate, I see that they do look best with the same colour as the truck.

I know there's someone on-line (x5girl maybe) that painted the skid plate, front grill and hood grills all the same colour and it looked pretty sharp. but I like your idea best and it will save me some cost on painting too!

thanks again.

I might paint it Matte Black to match the lower bumper area and have an understated look.

Expect black on black i would say..

With a black car, IMO, it would look better in titanium with titanium grill and alu RB's...
