How easy is it to change the kidney grilles?

jhbodle · 10-13-2018, 04:38 AM

I've just purchased a new M5 and it has black kidney grilles fitted. If I decide I don't like them is it easy to change them back to chrome at a later date? Do they just push out and clip back in?

Not hard at all.

Really easy. I did the opposite this past week. My car had the chrome and I swapped it to black.

Front grille took me less than 5 minutes. The fender grille takes a little longer and requires a little more care.

Appreciate IND Distribution for the how-to videos - short and to the point. And most important of all - their directions work!

Ditto. Was really easy to take them out. Not sure why anyone would but the cheap looking chrome ones in

Thanks everyone - and to be honest you are right - I went to see the car in person and it looked extraordinarily good with the black grilles. Nice to know I can change them if I change my mind though! (Or they release carbon grilles!)
