Just finished it, looks perfect, almost 20 years younger now, haha. Good video! Just, be carefull with those tabs, espacaly those on the up site, they can be quite a pain, I can recommend an short flathead screwdriver for that part, yet, managed to get 'em all out, without breaking or scratching any of those. Well, time to enjoy the new Grill, and hang the old Grill onto the Wall, haha.
Today I learned that you don't have to separate the two pieces to install the grille. I put my broken ones back together with krazy glue. Boom and done. No more wiggles.
Hi just wondering about the angel eyes (halo) , did you replace just the bulbs or the actual angel eye rings too ? Recently bought some new bulbs at 20w each bulb and had little difference to the led ones that were previously in it thanks n
I have this kidney grill too on my black 2003' E39. I think it looks the best with every color. Did you do something with your headlights ? Because those rings are just on point. They shine very bright even in sunset.
Kennan was running simple 5w 6,000k LED halo bulbs from Ebay, they're very affordable and easy to install! Not a ton brighter than the stock yellow ones, but having them in white really modernizes the look of the car from the front.
Hello! I run Ziza H8 Super White foglight bulbs on my car. You can get them anywhere that sells automotive light bulbs such as PowerBulbs or ECS or somewhere like that; they cost in the neighborhood of $25. I hope that helps! -Kennan
Hello! You can find them on eBay for around $25, just be sure to look for the white LED halo conversion bulbs and you should be all set. I hope that helps! -Kennan

We have a slate green E39 (I love the color)... the blue...... soooooooooooooo nice!!!!
i personally like the pre-facelift grills. the OEM grills on mine ('99 540i) have chrome just on the front edge and black on the sides.
Love the video, I wish we had a before and after picture...

Are U Sure fit 2001 E39 525i?
Yes, they will fit any E39
The grill has no difference. What's the difference exactly
The M5 grill has chromed front fins and a significantly wider bezel (compared to the pre-lift standard 5er grilles.)
E39Source but the facelift ones are all the same then?
The facelift grills all have the wider chrome bezel, but still only the M5-specific ones have the front of the slats chromed as well.
Well i have The problem cant open my hood and need to remove The grill😂😂
mutch mutch better
