2022 X5 under seat vent covers

For a few dollars ($6, to be exact), I added a cosmetic piece to cover up the under seat ac vents' gaping holes.

Not a bad mod, right? See before and after pics.

Great idea, help the rest of us with how you sourced the grilles. I know sooner or later those open tubes would collect something that did not belong.

Silly question but why is the thread named: "2022 BMW X5 xDrive M40i" instead of something like "Underseat Vent Covers/Grills"...

and you can get those grills on Ali

It slides into place.

Air flow is not restricted and no noise with ac at highest setting.
