Does anyone Make Black Kidney Grills for E90M3 LCI?

IM Buddy8 · 11-04-2021, 03:02 PM

I have a 2011 E93 and can't seem to find all black matte or gloss kidney grills that will fit. Does anyone make them or should I have the chrome wrapped? Any pics of black grill on white car would be cool to see too.

Thanks in advance!

I know I'm late to the grille replacement party.

This is about the only place I can find a reasonably priced gloss black grille.

Has anyone bought these?
If so, happy? Look good?

Yes, I've searched the forum for info.

Thanks

I have the gloss black IND grille on my E92 and they are great. Fit is spot on and look great. I did matching side markers at the same time.

I went with JB Speed for around $120, and am very happy.

Autotekniq has some for the cheapest I have found, $95 I think. Seems to have high quality stuff, but I havent done business with them yet.

Tons of options on Amazon too.

Can you no longer get OEM in black? I paid $85 from a dealership! (that was almost 10 years ago though haha)

I just got Black kidney grilles for my wife's F30 a few months ago from the dealership for $90!

VtecforV8 · 07-19-2024, 10:08 PM

Another vote for IND. Bought gloss black maybe 10 years ago, along with side markers. Have held up well.

vitalsigns · 07-20-2024, 12:57 AM

^^Ditto. IND is the way to go.

Bloodyboi1 · 07-21-2024, 04:34 PM

I think they are NLA, like quite a few other parts.

Man, I want the black chrome ones. But how is it so much more $?

JohnnyBeagle · 11-19-2024, 10:47 PM

I have the IND grilles, but paint matched. Good quality

M3JayM · 11-20-2024, 09:55 AM

E92Bean · 11-26-2024, 01:59 PM

Thanks, but I was asking why the chrome ones are 7x more expensive lol. Is it real metal chrome? Off topic, sorry.

Yes the genuine bmw ones are similar to the stock chrome in that it's true chrome. I just got a set of the black chrome for the e90. It'll match the black chrome on my '22 X7.
