If i choose Titanium, my wheels gonna be shinee
If i choose Black, my wheels gonna be black or some other dark color.

Help me Thanks.

I really have no preference, it's your car man. However, it's grille not grill. You cook stuff on a grill.

OEM BMW offers titanium grilles now?

Or are you referring to chrome?

The 2011 X5 has more of a brushed look than the polished chrome. I actually like it a lot on our vermillion red X5 and will not change it out.

i would do black. i am actually considering an x5 in black and plan on blacking out the whole car. the chrome look looks nice but isnt for me. it just depends on your style. do you want your x5 to look terrorizing or flashy?

We got the matte black grilles for you.

Check them out on our site, or PM me.



They cost a bit more than other BMW models due to their huge size.

You buy a vehicle for thousands of dollars - the grilles you can buy black or chrome on the internet for +/- $ 100 dollars any place in the USA and just fit them !

Hi DKANG. what dealer did you buy your X5 from? 50i or 35d?? I just took delivery of my 50i from Peabody last month. You're gonna love it!!! I'd be curious to see a picture of the titanium style. I have the chrome but do not like since nothing else on the vehicle is chrome.

Titanium is the way to go. Chrome is for escalades!
