I guess it you like the look but I wouldn't waste my money. That money could go toward more worthwhile mods.

This is true. Just saw them while checking out some other random stuff. I love that matte black look. I got my current grilles from iND, on sale for around $70ish

I would pass, I'm not a fan of putting a different generations "style parts" on an old generation.

Updating headlights and tail lights to an LCI look is fine, but stick with E92 grilles. I personally love the black chrome M3 edition grilles. They have a nice charcoal chrome look to them that is a nice contrast on black. Matte black is what I used to have but it looked like dull faded plastic to me, so I upgraded to black chrome. Much happier now.

Was at dealer to get new airbag today from recall. I actually like these grilles quite a bit.

Thanks for correcting, pasting on mobile is quirky for me.

Fyi, the grilles are cheaper on ebay:
