After ordering the X3, I made the dealer throw in a chrome grille. It was installed today. Just thought I'd post the pics for whoever is considering replacing them,

It only took the dealer 15 mins btw, so don't let them charge you for a whole hour.

It really makes a big difference in the appearance of the car.

Much more aggressive!

Nice, clean, easy upgrade. Looks good! How much (if they would have made you pay). I guess the dealer works faster when they aren't being paid by the hour

They quoted me GBP 200, that's about $300 US I think.

damn, now I want those too!!! I have the same color combo and although I was in favor of the non-chroom version I am starting to change my mind...

I had a small accident a couple of days ago and my front bumper has some scratches so I brought the car to my dealer to get my front bumper replaced, maybe I should ask them to add the chroom grille as well?

Are those grills standard on the 545 if it has shadowline?
