Front Clip For BMW New 5 SERIES Sedan (G30) Matte Front Fog

Guys,

I ordered this and it just arrived. I saw how the M550 looks and always thought that the 540 needed the little highlights at the bottom of the bumper to even it out.

I will send picture once I mount. In the interim, please let me know your thoughts.

I also got this on order. I ordered these, the matte kidney grilles and also the side mirror caps in matte silver. I ordered them via the local dealership at USD 1297 for these 3 items to be retro fitted once my car arrived in Singapore before I collect the car.

Nice. Mine arrived and I mounted them and they look good. It really removes all the attention from the grill and moves the eye around the front. l see why they but those pieces on the 550. I will take picture once we have a sunny day again.

How does it look to you guys?

Ok thanks. It looks good man, just like the 550! I personally didn't want to put any after market parts on mine, but I'm sure the actual bmw pieces are stupid expensive

Thank you. The 550 has an extra piece on the inside. It actually looks really high quality and identical to the grill. Thanks for the compliments though.

Those look nice! Question for you, I tried to gauge it from the pictures, how does the color compare to the chrome trim on the grilles? The reason I ask is that when I get my G30, I want to swap out to the grilles from the M550i which have the Cerium Grey around the grilles, and I was hoping these would more closely match that, or could be painted.

I had also explored swapping the actual parts from the M550i, however it looks like it would require removing the fog lights, as the M550i doesn't have them.

The match is extremely close to the grill. It is nearly impossible to tell the difference. I only say nearly because I've looked at in all types of light and can't tell a difference. They really look sharp. I believe that the spoiler/bottom lip of the front end is a little lower on the 550 vs the 540 so the 550 pieces may not fit.

I’m going to do similar but with gloss anthracite wrap, just did it to the air breathers first. I’m also going to tint those fog lights to blend in . getting a front splitter, side skirts I may also match the very bottom of to carry out the dark silver look
