So I’ve owned my X3 for almost 5.5 years and try to take great care of it. Unfortunately, commuting into the office two or three days a week has taken a toll on this lower front grill piece. I’ve had a lot of luck repairing paint chips with Dr. Colorchip and might see if I can find the right silver color match, but also might just look to replace the part if it’s no too expensive.

Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, how did you address the damage?

Thanks!

Interesting...because I hate the idea of fixing those chips only to have to potentially do it again later.

Two questions - how big a PITA is that for someone that doesn't have experience with wrap? Or would I need to have a professional do that?

Thanks!

not sure how PITA but i would just get quote to cover all silver pieces in the car.
that way the cost would be worth it. just my 2 cents

Looks like it’s part number 51117439128. About $100 online. Double check with your dealer parts department it’s the correct part number.
