I didn’t take a pic of the bottom. Only the top have 6 active locking tabs. Once they are loose, the grill slides strait out very easily. I can see why the grill goes flying loose in crash test videos. It’s designed to.

Thanks for the great instructions. I ordered my ebay grill on Sunday and it arrived today. Installed pretty easily thanks to your write up. Getting the camera out and in the new grill was the hardest part. The quality of the grill is very good. It feels a little flimsy but for $120 not bad.

Thanks for the write up. I don't have my X5 yet but I bought an eBay grill used for really cheap and excited to put it on.

I'll post some more pics this weekend...I am doing a couple of other things (painting the wheel arches & replacing w/ all black upper active shutter) this week.

Don Nguyen (wannaberacer) did the vinyl work on the sides. I took it to another shop for the front & rear, but only because Don was booked. I recommend Don Nguyen if you are in So Cal.
