I have a G05 white MSport with the black lighted grill. And 22” black wheels.

I think I’d prefer the brushed aluminum grill. Anyone have a pic of that? Or any shareable thoughts?

Is this the one you're referring to? I am considering exchanging to a black one.

You might have to view it on a computer.

This is what I did: I painted the outer trim in gloss black and kept the grille in the factory brushed aluminum finish. In my opinion, it looks balanced—not too dark and not overly shiny.

I have a cerium grey grille (and other matching trim pieces) if you are interested in something a bit rare.

Hello, I need some advice. I have a G05 pre-facelift with night vision. Will M Sport kidney grilles (same style as the X5M, dual stripe) fit?
And I would also like to ask if a diffuser from the G05 facelift will fit. Are the bumpers the same?

That is interesting.
I do understand it’s a pretty simple swap. I know nothing about it, I have the lighted grill, does that remain if I were to overall the grey replacement?

Is yours oem? What would you want for it?

I have the grey grill on my 2024 LCI. I actually want to go black so if interested in a swap just message me.

@Bavorak_Andy - I’ve found ind-distribution.com to be the best place for high quality BMW aftermarket parts. They have multiple offerings for the G05 grill, pre and post -LCI.
