How to install BLACK BMW G01 X3 Kidney Grilles and get rid of the chrome! Great X3 Mod!

[@Thakorrupt1]

Bro you have no idea how pumped I am that you are putting out G01 content 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@jeffwheeler9259]

I followed the instructions from this video and replaced mine yesterday, just a few little glitches that i figured out. One thing I would do next time is to put some masking tape along the top of the bumper below the grill so when you pull the grill out it doesn't scratch the paint on the bumper. I had a few very minor scratches but I'm a stickler for perfection!

[@randyfriesen]

important note to make this way easier and not mentioned in video. The three tabs that you initially press down, get hung up after you pull the grill out half an Inch. this is where there is a cut in the video. at that point, use a pick tool to lift those tabs up over the plastic they are hung up on. also make sure when you push back in tabs are in right spot, easy to miss on the top and go above slot... oops.

[@Shane-fh4uu]

For the life of me I am having a lot of trouble with this - specifically that part where they get stuck again after pulling them out a half inch. When you say to lift the tabs up over the plastic they are hung up on, does that mean I need to push the tabs down from the top?

[@momukhtarzada]

Randy Friesen I am also stuck on this. Do you mean to push the tabs down from above when they get hung up on the plastic?

[@burton14e7]

Yeah, my fingers are completely busted trying to do this right now. I can not for the life of me get the old grills off. About to start calling body shops tomorrow to over pay to have the new grills put on.

Very informative video, could you also show how to remove the front boomerangs & side pieces by the front wheels & side mirror caps, I want to replace or repaint mine on my x3 m40i. Thanks

[@KiesMotorsports]

Already filmed the video :)

[@TheChosenYuan]

@@KiesMotorsports Any idea when we can expect the video to be posted? I could really use some help getting the mirror caps off my 2020 X3 M40i

[@bullet_gor]

thanks for this video i always want to know how to change the kinney grill on this car because my dad has it .i think i will try this later . Thanks a LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NickTaylor-yf4ys]

I'm going to be the third person you know who likes chrome. My 2017 X3 silver grill has been damaged by a stone could I purchase the ones you replaced with black.

[@goranl2588]

Great video and explanation mate. I will get this black grilles for my X3 30d...

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks! Yea, they look great!

[@AW-gj4ji]

Does the black grill from 2018-2021 fits for 2022-2024?

[@dumyylan3868]

wow ~ thanks, i just buy a X4 g02 .and i buy a new black kudney griller install by myself

[@studio-flash]

Thinking of replacing mine on a 320M Sport. Mine are chrome with black slats. Can you replace the chrome surround only? Any videos on KZbin of it?

[@cindythuyloannguyen9729]

Do these black grills fix BMW X3 M40i ?, which website I can order these grills ?

[@SeoulToSeattle]

more g01 please. need louder exhaust. Straight pipe etc.

[@SeoulToSeattle]

Ok update this guy made it seems simple lol. Good tutorial but i had to do lot of twisting tugging and one tab got broken. Well noobie mistake by me lol

[@kristijanturbic2535]

Is it possible to exchange current light in led adaptive light?

[@mdino7]

thanks for this video - have an 2022 x3 m40i on order but shadow line package was deleted. i want the black grill. where can i order one? and is there a full shadow line package that i can order and have placed on?

[@mmarioalonso]

Can anybody suggest me where can I get these grills for replacement?

[@UweNielbock]

Super Video, Grüße aus Deutschland

[@edgarchieng2130]

Thanks very helpful :)

[@maximilianfischer4775]

Soooooo cool. Could'you do the same thing for the 1 Series f40 aswell? Got the 118i and as you said, i'm not one of t´he three persons who like chrome Nice content. Also got the X3, and i think i'm going to change thing real soon

[@kiloantraxs4]

Did u get any check engine lights after u did that? I put some on mine and the lights came out I took it to the bmw dealer and they say it’s because of the aftermarket kidney grills 😬🥺🤦🏻‍♂️

[@sutipnitibhon824]

Please do the mirror cover too!!!! Thank you.

[@LSHD3adpooL]

can we get more G01 stuff?

[@kpfusion]

Can you update the 2018 x6 to illuminate??

[@joshuaeastburn7948]

Please tell me the truth on this... no BS. I have a 328i M-sport package. Is it ok to add the 3 color grill or no. I would never place a m badge on hood... just the Tri- color grill? Thank you.

[@kenjiang21]

Does anyone know if aftermarket grilles will still work with the BMW's active kidney grille function? Thanks.

[@sashaghovanlou8175]

yea, the replacement grill is just the surround and doesn't affect the active grill function

[@syumassh]

Performance mods on a G01 maybe?

[@solomonshv]

i want to do this on my 2021 G06 (X6) that i custom ordered. the sales idiots at TWO dealerships told me that the M sport shadow line replaces all the chrome. turns out they were full of shit. the grill and fake exhaust tips are still chrome, on my black X6. replacing that is a separate $300 "package" that i was specifically told i can't add because it's already in the M sport package. i can live with the fake chrome exhaust tips since i don't ever look down there. but every time i walk up to my otherwise beautiful car, the chrome shit infuriates me.

[@oleksiismorodinov370]

Much easier than on f25!!!

[@TheMarcB1]

Are these active kidneys ? I mean, is the closing system behind the grilles ? Thx

[@fabletty10]

Yep 👍🏼

[@Josephpaulchu]

Hard to remove, not easy! broke a clip on each one trying to remove. I didn't mind so much because I don't think I'll go back, but I was planning to list them on ebay for couple of bucks!

[@raylegend808]

Hi, is it the same for a 2017 540i. Thanks

[@jg_media9]

Basically the same for all bmws..

[@KiesMotorsports]

I haven’t done one, but it should be similar

[@jg_media9]

[@linxindon]

jeez, why are my grilles so hard to pull off.
