Titanium kidney grilles & rear shade...

[Stevev]

Just bought a couple of accessories for my X5. Can anyone tell me how to remove the kidney grilles? Thank you in advance.

They just unclip and you pull them outwards. look at the clips on your new ones to see where they are and how they work. Should take no more than 5 minutes per side.

Fastbuck,

Thank you. Yes, it took about 5 minutes per side and you are right. Here are a few pictures that I just took with the old and new grilles, and the rear shades.

from the inside of the hood, there are 2 clips on the left and right side, press them in and push grille outwards towards ya, they will pop right out.

Can I ask you how you secured the dvd player on the back seat, I have the same player and have trip to go on next week and was trying to figure out what you just did!

Thanks

Kaify,

I got my X5 back in Feb. of this year. At the time that I ordered my X5, the dealer could not order the rear roller manual shades due to factory issues. Therefore, I could not get that rear roller manual shades. The one that I just bought, looks very good too. It helps to keep the rear cabin cooler for my son in the back seat.

Jon,

My portable LCD dvd player came with the headrest mounting hardware. See pictures below.

glad to hear that about the grill - I've got a 3.0sd on order and wasn't able to option the silver grill so I'll hopefully be able to do what you've done

Why replace the black with silver? I thought the originals looked pretty good with your black x. Quite a few people seem to be doing this mod. Personal preference... I guess???

how hard is it to install the shades?
are they oem parts?
