I've combed through the forums and the general consensus is that there isn't a difference between the pre and post-LCI grills. My personal experience says otherwise. ECS tells me that they don't offer the black grill for my VIN# which I find hard to believe. So far as I can tell, there are two different part numbers:

The grill I bought ECS: 51712158985

The other option on ECS: 51712155450

Anyone else have this experience? Any help is appreciated!
I bought the BMW M Performance (gloss black) grilles from FCP Euro for my 2012 E93 M3, these were the part numbers:

Left: 51712155451
Right: 51712155450

...and they fit perfect. I do know that the non-M3 grilles are different - the tabs are in a different position and won't fit our M3's.
