Does anyone have an idea on what the OEM black grills may cost? perhaps based on the previous gen X5? Are the ebay ones from Taiwan significantly cheaper?

ebay ones are around $230USD. I dont think i'd want to spend much more for OEM ones.
The black grilles from the F15 were about 200 to 230 depending on the vendor. Hopefully the ones from new model will about the same.

I order the eBay set and got them in about 24hours. Fitment is excellent; actually surprising. 99.9%

Any spray paint available in Phytonic Blue?

I'm OK with the chrome/Black grill, but I think I would prefer to have the center divider in body color (that little chrome vertical strip).
I covered with black tape to gauge effect & I like it. But need OEM spray, but can't locate anywhere. Anyone?

None of those are free shipping to my location and all end up being about what that first Taiwanese "$150" grill that many of us bought (and have raved about) cost in the end.

Any idea if the OEM Black Grilles are out yet please?? If yes, then what is the part number?

I want to get mine fitted with it, and my dealer says that there isnt a part number for it yet so they can't order them.

Being in India, getting it shipped from other places will most likely screw me in the customs duty.

Jay P posted the part number for the black grill I believe, but I don't know if anyone has bought one yet.

I got one of those $150 ebay black grills. They fit 100%, easy to install, very fast shipping from TW and great packaging.

When you put in the highlighted part number into an OEM parts search, it draws a blank......

Black OEM grill ordered for 2020 X5 G05 M50i

Hi,

In Germany it is possible to order the black grill as an option, included is also black chrome tips for the exhaust. After seeing some pics on this forum (notably AndroidRobot) I got hooked on the blacked-out look and had to change my order (Alpine White/Cognac). This option then also removes the Cerium Gray side mirrors, so yeah, I guess I just paid 300 euros to remove the distinct design features of the current top-of-the-range. Also ordered a full debadge for the front and rear emblems, so it's gonna be pretty stealth (until I turn it on). 747M Wheels. Planned delivery in Feb 2020 (lease-end of my current 540i Touring).

Hello,

What exterior colour and leather colour did you choose?

I would have loved to get a M50i but that model will be taxed to death in Sweden, appx €1500/year in tax, so it becomes more of a principal thing rather than economy. How much in yearly car tax will the M50i be in Germany?

Hi,

I went with Black Sapphire, interior is Coffee Vernasca (hope it is lighter than in the configurator photos, I only had Mokka and Cognac before). Interior trim is the matte anthracite wood ("Pappel Maser" in German). HK stereo, innovation package and a bunch of other stuff. Changed wheels to the 22 inch 747M, mostly because they are not run-flats, and they look very good. Hope ride-quality will still be OK. Also hope the blacked out color schema will look as brutal as I imagine, never saw an X5 with it here so far. Went to the dealership but they had none to inspect, however there was an all-black 7-series there and it looked dope, so I think I won't regret opting out of the Cerium Gray accents.

Regarding road tax in Sweden, I feel your pain, I am a Swede but relocated to Germany years ago. Last car in Sweden was a goddam VW Passat and thus represents a very dark episode of my life. Tax is not a factor for me, it is a leasing car with an attractive package from my employer. I don't know what the road tax here is, but seeing the cars that run around the streets and autobahns in Bavaria, I would assume it is manageable for most people who can afford an X5.

Does anybody have a pic of a black grill on alpine white m-sport? I saw one earlier in this thread but it didn't show the whole car and wasn't the highest of quality.

Providing that Jay highlighted the black one and not the regular chrome one, that is.

Would love to know if anyone gets one of these and how they work.
I'm too cheap to risk $200 ha ha.

Mineral white, I'd say close enough. eBay Taiwan grill, same as X54TH's. And yes, I am showing off and getting extra mileage out of the decal pics :-P

Looks really nice especially with that /// inserts. Did you get the grill from X54's eBay link? Thanks.
