Hi all.
I’m picking up a new x5 40d msport on Saturday but it has a chrome grill. Where’s the best place to get a black one ?
Cheers

From experience with non-OEM, the fit was just not good enough and was loose. I have only bought OEM since. Which version X5 40d (as in year/generation)?

Doesn't BMW offer one?

Surely if buying a new car at this value OE parts will always be better than anything from the aftermarket 🤔

The first question is to the dealer then. Is this a new to you car, or a brand new vehicle? If the latter then i'd be asking the dealer to supply and fit, maybe even at no cost.
