Has anyone replaced the grill of the E60. I just placed an order for a 2005 530 and I'm going to order the chrome grill which comes on the 545. Is this something I can do myself or do I need to let the dealer handle it for me.

Thanks.

 

double post homie....

but to answer your question....

let your dealer do it if they're not charging you for the "labor" which is basically snapping it off and putting the new one in.... but if they're expensive..then i'd hit up some local guys who've done it before.. and have them help you out.... a 6 pack of beer and some car convo is better than paying rape prices at dealer for labor.....

 

but where can you get that chrome grill?? Except BMW dealership..
I mailed a company that does that but .. didn't get any answer.

Any tips??

 

I see from you location that u're in romaina..
i'd go to your local speed shop to see who can get it.. but you know. .honestly..i'd just get it at the dealers... and not deal with fitment issues and what not........

 

yep.. you are right..

I spent almost 60.000 euros for this car.. A few hundred don't really matter

 

My dealer charges $131US for the part. I just don't know if it goes in easily or if other (major) parts have to come out to get to it. I suspect it will be easy....at least I'm hoping.
