Anyone have the BMW Performance Gloss Black Grill

Just saw them posted online. Anybody have it for the E92's yet? I'm debating if I should order these or the aftermarket ones from our vendors.

The parts guy at United just emailed me that "According to BMW, E90 M3’s cannot accept the BMW Performance grills."

Could you please verify the part numbers for me?

E90 and E92 M3 use the same grill which is also the same as non-M E92s. Maybe he's thinking E90 non-M which has a different shaped grill.

Nah, that's what I thought at first, too. I reread his email and he clearly referenced the M3. I'm sure there is a set that works since technic has them.

I will try to take some pics after my springs install on Monday, but click on this link to buy and see their pics. You need to buy left and right separately. $110 total plus shipping.

Yup. I got mine here too. Will install them tomorrow and post pics. They look great and really match the rest of the window trim on the car.

Now they need to release, a gloss black side grills.

Mine are in backorder... only one grill has been received by the dealer. It looks like the Coupe grills are in great demand; the Sedan's are ready available..

I meant the 3-Series Sedan (LCI and non-LCI), not the M3 Sedan...

the BMW performance grilles are available for the E92/E93/E90 M3. they are $110/set.
they also have separate parts for E90 LCI and another separate part for non-LCI E90.

Just verified by United (through BMWNA) that these are the part numbers for the E90/E92/E93 M3 BMW Performance Grills.

Left - 51712155451

Has anyone successfully installed these two OEM parts on an E90 M3 yet?

Mine are still on back order from Germany, but the parts guy at United verified with BMW that the part numbers I listed fit the E90 M3.
