Has anyone installed the diamond kidney grille?

Saw this on Ali express: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3305...46aa740972kQVv

Nice change of pace from the typical slats, but I'm not sure if it'd go well with the X1. My trim isn't blacked out, so I'd go with one of the two silver options.

Anyone have any pics of these installed on their X1?

They have some photos on that link — they look pretty cool but does kind of take away that classic BMW grill look

Yeah, saw those, but I wish the photos were a little more zoomed out. Ruining the BMW look was my top concern; I see a lot of pictures online of BMW's with this grill but haven't been able to confirm if its an OEM style on any of their cars or concept cars.

The new 4-series has a similar look but it's still different. [IMG]https://s1.cdn.autoevolution.com/ima...s-140915_1.jpg[/IMG]

Oh my. I think I'll pass on the diamond grille for now then. Thanks for the discussion!

In my opinion, the grill does not suit the X1. Others will differ.

That grill grabs your eye, but not in a good way. I see it as a distraction.
