Grill Bracket Question

sc30317 · 11-18-2018, 08:53 AM

So I need to replace the right grill bracket that holds the grill on my wife's E70 X5d (2013 model). I'm not sure what the piece that holds the grill in is called. I've attached a picture of the missing grill, a picture of it from under the hood, and a picture of the corresponding RH model on the other side. Can anyone identify this part for me so that I can replace it?

Your best bet is to look at realoem and look your model up. That site will use part of your VIN so you get the right parts.

I did try and find it on RealOEM, but It isn't listed on the hood diagram for this car:

If I'm reading what you're looking for, you're talking about the grille part that's attached to the grille that snaps into the hood? As far as I know, that comes with the grille.

It does not come with the grille. I already purchased one set of these grilles.

and this one fell out, because I didn't have the bracket holding it in. I thought it might just be a new design or something, but it turns out the grille doesn't stay in without that part.

I see, with that part you are expected to insert that into the stock mount surround. You're talking about the part I have cut here right? I went out and checked and there is no part number on that piece indicating that it probably only comes with the grille as an assembly. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but you can usually find cheap ones for sale on here and cannibalize it for the surround. As a last resort, you can pop your other one out and see if there are any numbers on it and look them up.

These are the part numbers for my factory black grille/chrome surround;

Left ducting part #51137171395
Left grille part#51317157687
Right ducting part #51137171396
Right grille part #51317157688

Here is some broken grilles for $15 on eBay, might be worth it to pick them up for the shrouds... https://www.ebay.com/p/BMW-Original-...395/1711257225

X5 MAN · 11-19-2018, 08:36 AM

This one comes with grill and shroud.

When I ordered aftermarket grilles on ebay, it only came with the front piece and I had to reuse the OE inside brackets. I think only way to get the inside brackets is to buy the BMW branded OE ones.
