This is my 2011 X6 Space Gray with the black perf grills. you can get an idea of what the X3 would look like. I personally love the black grills. chrome is for sissies.

I bought black grills for my '11 X3. Wife didn't like them. Interested in buying mine? Only installed for about a month. Flawless condition. No broken tabs. If so, PM me and make an offer!

Anyone know how much a set of black kidney grills would be from BMW in the UK - and if anyone has a photo of them on a UK spec Alpine White M Sport?

Just installed today! Had NO clue how to get to the clips to get the old ones off, so it took me probably 5x longer than it should have.

I removed the screws to the bumper right above the grills, that gave me enough room to get my hand in to disengage the top and sides of one grill. A special pair of hook-end pliers extended the range of my hands to get the bottom ones. Once I got one grill out, was just a matter of reaching in and around to get to the second one, even though there was a couple on that grill that just didn't want to disengage! Pop the new ones in and screw top of bumper back in. Note that these screws are what holds the bumper in alignment to the edge of the hood, so might take a couple tries before it looks just right.
