Front kidney grill

Are the e70 and e71 front grilles identical? I found these on amazon that have the curve like the newer x5/X6 and I just wanted to know if they will fit my 2010 X6. I also saw some of the new diamond shape ones on Ali express but I don't know how the quality is.

Yes.... but be careful installing.... The aftermarket ones can be a bit more brittle with respect to the tabs...

I run the same ones on my vehicle.... the outer black rim is very slightly smaller than your existing chrome ones...

Thanks for the info. It seems the reviews online aren't too great for the knockoff versions.

Been running double slat knock-offs for years... Had no problem. My lad paid 60 bucks for a set on his F25.... installed fine and those were a perfect match.

I’ll be changing the ones on my wife’s X3 in the next while...

You can see my X6 ones in a couple threads here...
