My First E70 "Mod" - Black Kidney Grill
I recently bought this X5 (my second one).

I love it in Alpine White. One thing I did not realize was the kidney grill was loose when I bought it and one day just popped out in my hand as I opened the hood for the car (clips were broken)

Instead of going to the stealership I bought a pair of all black matte ones on Amazon.

I was going to go with the OEM look but the grill lining was the ONLY thing chrome on my car. (minus the badges)... So i went with the all black.

I love it. Simple install clip in clip out.

Attached are some pics.

Just wanted to share.

Not sure how much Amazon was but I got my pair $100 to my door which I thought was pretty good. If you guys are interested...this is where I got mine.

Fitment was top notch?

And no extra costs upon delivery? IE: no hst?

Everything about the transaction was perfect, including the quality of the grills.

No, don't recall getting dinged for hst. Just signed for it.

I got mine done at the dealer before the car was even registered and licensed! Along with the full performance bodykit and interior bits

Are these easy to install? I just picked my X up and haven't had a time to check the grills.

Any DIY?

I know my wife's E90 was a 5 minute job, hopefully the X is too.
