Port install or not, the parts themselves are Genuine BMW and designed specifically for the car.
Regarding the LRP, most I've seen left the factory with chrome grille surrounds & I've yet to confirm whether any left the factory with black ones, so you might be onto something here.
I must've been thinking a bit too fast when I was typing there, but my point stands. OEM black grilles are 100% appropriate/correct on the car.
To use BMW's own terminology, they are 100% ORIGINAL BMW TEILE.
Even taking away the LRP, there are still E9x M3s - M3 Edition, GTS, CRT, Competition Edition, Frozen ___ Editions, and BMW Individual builds - that left the factory with an array of parts from the aforementioned catalogue, including black grilles.
