Edition VS M Performance kidney Grills

rgoose18 · 07-11-2014, 11:45 PM

I just installed edition kidney grills and side gills on my AW and to be honest I'm not super excited with the outcome. They're almost a bronze color and don't match the exterior trim at all.

Does anyone have a side by side of Performance VS Edition grills installed (prefer AW but I won't be too picky)?????

Thanks

Yes I agree I wasn't terribly thrilled either.

Now I'm trying to finalize a decision between matte and gloss black. I have matte on now and matte wheels but just can't visualize the gloss.

That's an easy choice, gloss all day. Matches the trim perfectly, matte looks cheap on such an expensive car

The OEM Gloss ones sell for like $120 shipped from bmwpartspros.com. Do it, move on to the next issue.

where can you get gloos side gills that match?

I know lots of stores sell "gloss" side gills but they aren't OEM and i don't want them to not match.

To the OP, you are correct. I always explain to my clients that they have a gunmetal/bronze hue to them. Really difficult to put into words, but bottom line is that they do not match the window trim or mirror housing.

Unfortunately the only side marker BMW offers are chrome and black chrome (Edition). We offer a painted version to match the window trim. Shoot me a PM or you can get them through our site.

Glad I ran across this, I was getting ready to order the editions for my wife's Jerez Black E93, and now and thinking gloss may be the better option.

Andrew, from you seeing so many cars, in your opinion does gloss look better than edition on Jerez?
