What is the difference between these versions of M3 Edition grills/gills?

SamS · 04-27-2011, 09:10 AM

Hi,

Sorry for another grills thread, but after searching, I still can't find a definitive answer. Can someone tell me what is the difference between these two OEM sets of grills/gills? And try not and answer with "about $290"

I have the black chrome grilles and the difference between that and the performance is that the black chrome gives more of a "chrome" appearance. Basically more shiney and chrome looking but its black.

So, both are OEM, but the ones from Trade Motion are just cheaper and more shiny?

Both are referred to as "Edition", but what cars can be ordered with these (non-Individual)?

I'm thinking:
335is - comes with the black chrome/shiney?
M3 GTS - comes with non-chrome black?

Those are the same Edition sets with a slight price difference

So no reason to pay for the more expensive version from Tischer?

Set price without shipping: Tischer $331 vs 350 IND. So I'm not sure what you mean by more expensive version from Tischer?

Sorry, I wasn't adding the piece prices together correctly.

They are exactly the same from both vendors

Grills are for the front. Gills are for the sides. One set comes as satin/chrome black and the other one is glossy black.
