Derek - you heathen, the M5 grille does stand out from the standard - just not in the pic above.

Look at this:-

I obviously don't get this one lads, it's got a slightly fatter lip? I could understand going for all of the other bits of M5 kit, but this one? Who'd be able to tell other than you and the bank manager?
The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think.

Like orange or pink?

You have the blue car so the chrome would not look too bad on that.  If you have the chrome around the doors it suits it well.

Motormec do them for £23.94 each plus VAT.  A lot cheaper than autovogue...

Takes about 10 mins to do both.  They are just clipped in.

Don't take my word for it.... http://www.bmwtips.com/tipsntricks/tips_pages/M5%20grill%20installation%20photos.htm

I suppose you could buy direct from BMW or Motormec UK or Quarry Motors UK will ship.

Is it a direct swap? Where is the best source of these?

I think it does, especially when you think your one won't even have the chrome ribs as shown below on the right.
