2010 X5 3.0 ordered & looking for titanium kidney grill now
 
Hi all,

Thanks to this board, I got a great deal on a new 2010 x5 3.0 (3K below invoice cost which includes the 2500 credit!! :thumbup:). As I'm waiting for the new truck to arrive, I'm looking for a pair of titanium kidney grill (the ones on 4.8) to replace the black grill that comes with 3.0. The quotes that I received so far are all around 250 for a pair but I've read on this board, some people actually got them for around 128. Can someone please let me know where can I find such great deal or something that's less than 250? Thanks in the advance.

Derek

Check eBay, you can find plenty...

or if you like to spend some time,

Paint them yourself.

I sprayed mine with krypton spray paint.

Took them off , cleaned them and applied 2 coats of grey primer.

this was followed by two coats of titanium spray paint

and rounded off with clear coat.

Came out perfect.

Thanks for the info but I will stick with the 4.8 replacement part. Not that handy when comes to spray paint. ;)

I agree....
 
I don't know why, but I just dont have "it" when it comes to spray painting. :confused:

Some people make it look so easy. I ruin everything I try to spray paint.

I'm trying to decide if I should go with the all black "European" look grill on my 4.8. If so, I'll sell you my Titanium grill.

I've only seen a few pictures with the all black grill. Does anyone have pics to post? Thanks.

another member asked the same....

you can find plenty of them on ebay....

bmw x5 e70 grille, great deals on eBay Motors, Toys Hobbies on eBay!

Ahhh.....great idea (to look on eBay)
 
Thanks - still no really good picture of them on the X5, only a few very low res shots. But it gives me an idea of how it looks. Thanks.

Is there a member on here who has the all black grill on their X5?

My other thought was to paint them the same color as my X5 (carbon black metallic). Any thoughts/opinions?

I checked Ebay, most of the X5 grill on ebay is not titanium and not made by BMW.

One of your post says your dealer quoted $128 plus tax for the set. Can you let me know the dealer name? Thanks.

sure, Dan Putzig of Westchester BMW... great guy...
