How difficult is it to replace grille and side vents?
I have an X5M coming in this week. I didnt get the Competition pack, but want to switch to gloss black grille and side vents. Do they just pop off or is there a trick to removing them? Also, whats the best source for OEM or OEM-quality parts?

I've not done it, but have seen various posts - I think pretty simple; the M grille also does not have shutters so even easier.

As you said, just pop off and replace.
Front grill, there are 6 tabs under the hood that you need to depress then pull off. Fender trim, the outer edges held by double sided tape, the rest are clips. Pull and replace. I have AutoTecknic fender trim that fitment is as good as OEM. Not too sure if they have the front grill.
