A new BMW 5 Series grille or grille shell can completely transform your ride for the better. Most BMW 5 Series grilles can be installed in about an hour, so your pride and joy can be sporting a new, unique style in no time at all. Whether you're in the market for a racing mesh grille, a billet grille, or anything in between, you can give your vehicle the custom look it deserves with an a custom aftermarket BMW 5 Series grille.

Grilles are typically available in at least one of two styles: as an overlay or as a replacement for your original grille or grille insert. Overlay BMW 5 Series grilles bolt on over your existing grille insert, allowing you to revert back to your vehicle's factory look by simply unbolting the aftermarket BMW 5 Series grille. Grille replacements, on the other hand, require you (or your designated installer) to remove the center "eggcrate" or center from your grille shell, or remove the shell altogether, before installing your new BMW 5 Series grille. In our opinion, a replacement offers a cleaner look, but it's up to you to decide if the extra work is worth the effort.
