How to remove the silver front grilles of the BMW X3 or X5 and replace them with black ones

Model: BMW X3 MK 3, G01 - Years 2017-2024
Part: Grille

If we don't like the chrome, is it possible to remove the chrome grilles of a BMW X3 or X5, replacing them with glossy black grilles? Certainly, and let's see how to do it: First of all, we need to get the black grilles, and we can find them for example on Amazon with the code B0B23JGW4Z at a price of 63.99 euros per pair, free delivery for Prime customers. On the top of the hood there are three clips that we will loosen with a flathead screwdriver: this will be enough to remove the grille from its housing. Then it's as easy as re-installing it. We align it at the top and then snap it in at the bottom. A good push and it's done!
