New Bmw Performance Black Grill for LCI F10??

Has anyone heard or have seen revised black bmw performance kidney grills for the LCI F10's yet since the shape of them changed?

This is one of those mods that i really think the F10 needs and it would suck if i have to wait a year before they come out. Rather not go with the painted route because of rock chips etc... I am going to try to install my current pre lci black grills on the LCI to see if they fit. Hopefully they do.

Getting them installed when it arrives courtesy of the dealer. Think at port it's where it gets the makeover.

Just saw them on shop.bmw.com. Alan you can pick them up there for $140 or pay at the dealer if you don't want paint

I am guessing other shops have them as well. I think there are some slight changes in the LCI so I am not sure your old ones will work

I just checked and when you compare the part numbers of the L and R kidney grills for the 2011 and 2014 F10 its the same. Either they fit or bmw needs to update their website to reflect that they either don't fit the 2014 or need to update the part numbers.

Curious to how many parts from the F10 are going to fit the new LCI.

I wanted to get the M Performance carbon fiber front splitter but nobody seems to know if it will work or not, its on the M performance website, however the part number is the exact same of the pre-lci model? Which I find a bit weird.


I was about to order these the matte black kidneys from **********s for the 5er, but if the grills changed then i guess they will not work.

Has anyone here ordered them 100%? Meaning your SA told you they were available and ready to order?

I don't think they changed the bumper on the Msport. I'm sure the splitter would work fine.

Unfortunately for the past few months you can no longer order the M performance front splitter for any F10. I believe they were having quality issues and halted production? Could be wrong.

Anyone heard more about the black Performance LCI grill, and if it will fit the pre-LCI?

I asked the part guy at my dealership in the UK today about them, and he didn't seem to mention any issue. Just gave me the price. Proof will be when one of their monkies tries to fit them I guess.

LCI and non lci grills are interchangeable. I confirmed it on my car.

Now will bmw come out with LCI version of the black performance grill is the question.

If not that would be a shame. I prefer the new look. Maybe it's possible to buy the part number from M5 2014 LCI and just remove the badge?

Any answer to this yet? BMW's site and tischer both have pictures of the 12 slat grills on their site... Lots of other threads on this but no one has confirmed finding the LCI grills.

The OP answered this question on 10/17/2013. Yes the new LCI grills are interchangeable with the non LCI.

Just realized I was asking a different question than the OP.

I'm wondering if BMW ever came out with an LCI BMW Performance grill for the F10 than has the kink and fewer slats.
