X5M Front Grill and Carbon Interior on non-M models

Hi there,

Wondering if anybody already had the idea of replacing the stock front grill and interior with the ones from the recently released X5M?

Both the carbon fiber interior trim and the aggressive m front grill look fantastic.

I already have black and cerium grey grilles on my G05. I think they look good. Admittedly, not as good as the double slit grilles but I'll just need to save up for a full fat X5M for that. Not a fan of putting "M" stuff on M-lite cars. I do however really like the carbon interior. I have the full carbon M Performance Kit on mine so plenty of external carbon. I was disappointed when I couldn't spec carbon interior whereas I could for the G06. The interior is something I would consider but I'm fully expecting it to cost an untold fortune.

Oh lord no please don't add the X5M grills. Nothing worse than a non-M trying to be an M model (its bad enough on a 320 but even worse on an X5 which is a prestige car in it's own right). Just get the shadow line gloss black grills without the X5M badge.

I like the carbon interior and would have spec'd it had it been available but again not if the centre console sports the X5M logo for the reason above.

If you've got deep pockets, the carbon center console interior trim is going to require the leather knee bolster trim for it to work.

At some point, there will be aftermarket double slat black grilles without the X5M badge, there always is - there may already be for the X5 but there isn't for the X6 yet.

If I were you, I would get that, I couldn't put a grille on with an X5M badge, and if you remove the badge you have that blank space.

That's my guess also.
It will unfortunately not an easy 1:1 swap, but nevertheless I think the carbon interior and trim looks awesome. Great job from the designers here.

I thought there would be.

I don't check for the X5 parts, its the X6 double slat grille I'm waiting for.
