I want that m grill, I’m tempted to buy one on eBay and return it if it doesn’t fit.

The camera slot is different in the LCI, feedback about it on this thread.

I removed the active shutters on my M50i and have the X5M grille on it. I know I’m upbagding, but with all the M badges already on it, I don’t see it being a big deal, TBH. The M50i badge is still on the tailgate.

Do you have a pic of your front end?
Which active shutter delete method did you do?

I wonder if that badge can be purchased and added to the existing m50 grill….

I did the plasi weld method to remove the shutters. Never got any check engine lights. I did have the bumper off when I did it, so it made it easier.

I also did the side vents, M mirrors, and M spoiler to finish the look

On the M grille, the badge is part of the slats. You can remove the X5 M as it is double sided tape, but not the holder piece. I’ve considered removing the X5 and centering the M, but still not sure.
