New M5 grill?

Does anyone know if the new M5 grill with the double slats will fit in the regular 5 series? If so, does the M5 badge easily pop off or is it permanently fixed to the grill. Thanks.

Same here -- love the new grill. I'm pretty sure it fits though -- I WANT ONE!

I don't love the double slats (too fussy/cluttered maybe) but I'd be down for one with just an "M" badge in it. Do they all say "M5"? That'd be unfortunate. Please, please nobody put a grille with "M5" on their F10 and totally ruin the dignity of their car. An "M" badge should be enough.... just need to know if there's an M5 variation with only that on it.

That's a sharp grille - agree you can't put that on a non M5.

I think you can as long as you can take the M5 emblem and that thing behind off. Does anyone know if it easily pops off?

Oh, would love to get my hands on a gloss black one without M5 badge! I'm sure aftermarket will fill the need soon, at least I hope so. I really like this one much better than stock F10 grille.

Is that a camera under the M5 emblem? It's something circular.

i think thats the night vision camera,, from what i see the LCI M5 has the same bumper and grill size as the non-LCI, so it should be very easy to replace it, just a hard pull off grill towards outside and it pops out, i've done it before.

Looks like teeth with the added specularity from the double slats -- aggressive.
