My Ride: 2013 M5 - Sakhir Orange / Black Leather.
I know a few folks have installed one of these. I have the M Tech bumper. The company says the factory grill does not need to be removed to install theirs. Does it look o.k. not removing the factory grill first? Can you still install their grill and remove the factory grille?

Here's a picture of the mesh from www.racemeshgrilles.com on Freed0m's car. You don't have to remove the factory grille.

Thanks EuroCarFan and Jagman. I'm convinced and am gonna order it - black powder coat. So Jagman, from your description it sounds like it is a "pressure fit" that holds it in, correct? Is there rubber around the edge that holds it in place?

I'm thinking about doing the same Dinan engine upgrades to my ride as you did. The airbox isn't available yet. And, given I have a stick not sure the software will be noticeable. Do you like the exhaust? Would you do the upgrades again?

I love the sound of the Dinan exhaust...very sporty with a deep mellow tone instead of being too loud and obnoxious.
I know that Dinan is working on the software for the 550 6sp; they used a car from a forum member here (Roleez) as a test bed.
And yes, I would definitely do their upgrades again.
