I have to confess I have a preference for the black grills.

Where did you get your grills? Are they OEM grills?
Thanks,

The gloss black grills on the 135i are BMW performance parts. The flat black grills on the X5 came from Turner Motorsport.

It only took about 10-15 minutes per vehicle. You just need a little patience and you will be able to remove the original grills w/o breaking any of the tabs on the grill.

Thanks. I was able to find more information about the glossy black grills at Original BMW Accessories : Accessory finder. I plan to call the dealership today to check on prices.
