Pics Of My Matte Black M5 And A Question...

Hey guys... First post on here so hopefully I uploaded my photo's the correct way! I have the night vision option on my car and from what I can tell so far this seems to limit my grill insert options. I wanted to get the all black inserts with the M5 badge on the one side. Anyone have experience with this for OEM parts or after market? Appreciate your replies...

Your pictures did come out side ways and now my neck hurts! Lol!

Anyways, my advice to you is to either go with some IND painted grills, or go with Matte Black wrapped grills. My grills are wrapped matte black and they look perfect. Going the painted route is way more expensive. Now fix your pictures, so I can drool over my keyboard. Thanks!

Damn when you said black you meant black all you can see on the back are the badges IND is probably your best option but I personally think they're a bit overpriced but like you said you've got night vision so you're limited

Thx guys... I found another company that only wants $110 for the all matte black inserts for night vision delivered, but they don't have the M5 badge. I really want that stupid badge on there! lol

I did look at the option from IND and they do seem a bit high for the same product, but if that is my only option to get the badge then I may have to suck it up.

I will post more pics when I get it done...

Or you could wrap it for a quarter of the price.

Yeah you would have to order the LCI grills anyways. Good luck in your decision.

I just ordered some LCI grilles off eBay for $120. They came with the badge... I am sure you can find just the badge on eBay for a few bucks.....

Thx much!

So BMW verified they don't make OEM matte black grill inserts with the badge that will fit into an M5 with night vision. I guess it's going to be aftermarket or nada.

Beautiful car. I learned my lesson the hard way. I ordered the night vision, but never again. It prevented me also from getting the LCI black painted grill. Getting night vision is my only regret.

Yeah just order the LCI Chrome Night-Vision grills then either get them painted or wrapped.
