Installing at the dealer. Why don't you do it yourself and save a few bucks? There are a few DIYs in here.

The chrome grille set is the "M5" grille yes? Where did you order it from?

free? The dealer? That's unheard of. You either know them personally or have spent a lot of money prior.

Given how many members dislike chrome and black out their grille, I can't wait to see the pics and judge the difference.
