2023 X5 M50i front facia mods

Question for the group, has anyone changed out these inlets on the X5? Not a fan of the grid pattern. Are there any options? TIA

Following. I asked pretty much the same thing on here about a week or so ago. The current set up is not aggressive at all.

You want to change out the honeycomb pattern to something else? What did you have in mind (slats)? I don't think there is anything out there, but I could be wrong. One of the other forum members can chime in. You can always fabricate your own.

Ha, yeah the slats wouldn’t be such a bad look on the m-sports but I have not seen any aftermarket ones available. Maybe a mesh grill with smaller holes would loooj good. How about adding a front lip? That may add to the overall look of a meaner front fascia.
