My Ride: 2009 550i M Sport - All options except HUD
agree with this. I got mine yesterday and installed them this morning. I'll post pics later. removal of old ones would be easier a second time but was a challenge to me this initial time. I was afraid I'd break something but somehow got thru it. I found the videos and write-ups to be marginally helpful but nothing significant.

Im considering doing this as well.
Help me understand: Is it a chrome outer kidney & then the vents of it are matte black? Looks that way in the picture.
Or is the whole thing black?
