    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.

    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.

    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

    • @E39Source
      @E39Source  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just the bulbs.

    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.

    • @Michu2108
      @Michu2108 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know. I have those LED bulbs too but I think mine are 5,000k and they dont look as good as yours.

    what type of fog lights do you have ? where did you buy them ?

    • @E39Source
      @E39Source  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

      Dumb question did put the new grill in old holder. My holders for the grill are rotted away

    Why not go for the blacked out or carbon fiber grills?

    • @E39Source
      @E39Source  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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!

    The grill has no difference. What's the difference exactly

    • @E39Source
      @E39Source  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The M5 grill has chromed front fins and a significantly wider bezel (compared to the pre-lift standard 5er grilles.)

    • @AlanTrades
      @AlanTrades 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      E39Source but the facelift ones are all the same then?

    • @E39Source
      @E39Source  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.
