How come it was a pain to fit? Does your car have flaps?

My Ride: 2006 530 xi, Black Sapphire Metallic, Auburn Leather,poplar grain wood trimi, prem. pkg., prem. sound pkg., cold weather pkg., steptronic auto. trans., front comfort seats, split folding rear seats w/ski bag,rear heated seating, power rear sunshade and manual rear side window shades, park distance control, BMW on-board navigation system and satellite radio.
Looks sharp, I think all the non-sport versions should have come that way. The brochure in the U.S. states chrome grill slats, but the dealer said it was a misprint. I had the dealer install mine just before I took delivery of my 2006 530xi in July. I know you'll be very pleased.

Really nice pics Peter530i 
They came out especially on a dark car.

I can always put the old ones back
I don't think you'll ever have them stolen!

Nice grill. The chrome looks really shiny. What kinda mobile phone takes pictures like that? Those pics are pretty clear if taken from a phone. The US is always last when it comes to electronics. The camera on my RAZR takes crappy pics.
