Gave her a clean
Decided to give her a quick clean and a coat of Hydrosilex.
why can't it just stay clean and looking like this always Please don't judge for the grille but it's going to have to to do until I can shell out for an OEM one. |

It's my trusted friend, E60 530D M Sport. Had her for nearly 9 years but contemplating selling her as I don't drive enough to justify running 2 cars. |

I got an aftermarket grill from Taiwan, took the gamble as it looked pretty good. It had to have the exact same shape slats as standard and have the m5 logo in the right spot, turned up and I was quite impressed. Not bad for less than £65. |

I don't suppose there's a grille M5 badge and holder for it seems a shame to replace the whole kit for something that looks the same.

I have seen some other non-OEM grilles with the M badge for £70 but you get to wait a bit. |

No matter what peoples views OEM is always better than replica.
I have seen many times with other people that the quality just isn't there 99% of the time when buying copy parts. Yes OEM is expensive but it fits perfectly. Why spend over £35,000 on an M car and stick £65 worth of tat on the front of it...… Not having a pop at the OP but replica tat lovers everywhere |

Yes I know what you mean with them coming mostly from the Far East and being on the slow boat with custom's hold ups.

I went with this one, the only one on Ebay that looked anything like the OEM. The angle of the slats is correct and the position of the m5 badge is correct. I was happy with it and I don't settle with any old junk.
