Hey everyone  Im new here and am very confused about a certain issue... My mother has a 545i and we all know that the chrome grill at the front comes with the 545i. But a friend of mine recently bought a 5series and claims that it is a 545i but the grill isnt chrome its just a black 1. He has slapped on an m5 badge to make it look like 1 but it hasnt fooled anyone. Do any of you know if all 545i's come with chrome grills at the front or is he just trying to fool everyone thinking its a 545i? Never been for a drive in his car so havent heard any signs of a v8. |

Welcome aboard! In the USA, up until MY 2006, only the 545i came with the chrome grill. Now I believe all E60's come with the chrome grill.
