My Ride: 05 Silver Grey 523i | Step, M-Kit, M5 Trunk Finisher, 19" ACS Type IV Wheels, Goodyear F1 GS-D3 245/35/19, Grey Dakota Leather, Maple Wood Sycamore Anthracite, Advanced Climate Control, Electric rear sunblind, Electric folding mirrors with automatic anti-dazzle, Lights package, PDC, Rain sensor, Business Radio, CD Changer
Guys, finally got the chrome grille this afternoon, and I will try to install it on Sunday. And because of gf366, the parts shop quote me the xenon retrofit for $1000 less, so it is now $10500. I am waiting for Singfai's quote as well. They do parts and installation. Let's see how much it will cost. Hope I can have it before our next meet!!!

Hi Guys
Sorry I was out of town yesterday. I picked up my grill on tuesday but it's still sitting in the trunk. Unfortunately, I can't make it this Sunday. Hopefully you're successful in putting it in and show us some instructional pics....hehe.

Hi,
Most of you guys already pick up the Grille?
I am too busy and got no time to get it yet, hopefully can get it tomorrow before the shop close la
Are u all going to DIY?? actually I've no indea on how to install it......
May be I am wrong, it seems that the Shop didn't provide install service even I pay extra for that, right?
OT: I've upload a short clip (Making of E90) which I found on the Web, pls ref to:
http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=17375
and I also put it in my GMail Drive as well

I wish
I looked inside the hood and the grill seems to be completely protected by a piece of metal from the top. I can't see a way to reach those clips without taking out that metal. Someone on the main board had posted a photo with pointers to which screws to undo b4 the metal part can be taken out. But I can't find that post still

[/quote]Actually the metal/plastic strip is quite easy to remove, no need to unscrew anything. If you want this a DIY job, maybe I can help you since mic is going to install it Sunday and I can't make it on that day.
