Are X5M grills different than regular X5s?
I just bought black BMW Performance grills for my X5M from Tischer. But they look different than the ones the car came with. Did the X5 get new grills for the LCI facelift, or does the X5M come with different grills? I was thinking maybe the black grills they have in stock at Tischer were the pre-LCI black grills. I like the original shape better, so I'd like to exchange them if possible. I know I'm being picky, but little things like this bother me haha.
If you look closely, you can see the grill surround is thicker on the chrome one. Also, the slats aren't tapered and have a nice kink about 2/3 the way down.

yup the LCI grills are a little thicker so if you really want to you could exchange them. The regular x5 grills do fit the M, I transferred my black ones from my last x5

Yeah ours look exactly the same. Also, is that a camera right in front of your tire? If so, what is it for? I have the surround camera thing, but my cameras are under the mirror. Or maybe thats a PDC sensor on your car?

That's the side-view camera for pulling out into a blind intersection.

I was lazy and simply installed the narrow framed pre-LCI gloss black Performance grills on my X5M

Because "BMW Performance" is their brand name for aftermarket-ish product lines they're selling.

EDIT: just saw you're in Germany, so it must be European pricing?
