According to RealOEM the 1/2008 535i and the 1/2006 530i have the same part number for chrome grille.

Part number for left grille (chrome) is 51137065701.

Is the dealer the only place you can get oem look? I want grill to be all around chrome and will look like newer 535i front grill. Thanks

Same it is.

BMW (UK) Ltd, Product Marketing, January 2007, Page 9

BMW 5 Series (LCI) – from the front
– autonomy of double kidney grille is highlighted by individual enclosure
– air inlet with modified contour underlines the car’s wide stance
– horizontal decorative panel in lower air inlet implies wide track
– optical link between glass-covered fog-lights and headlight cluster
– optimised lower grille obscures direct view of radiator / oil cooler

Last week I ordered a new full chrome grill from BMW and fitted it to my 2005 5er at the weekend... perfect fit. Go for it!
