F10 Black Performance Grilles

mrsmith · 01-13-2014, 08:18 AM

I've just ordered a new 520D M Sport in Alpine White, due next month.

In the mean time I wanted to get a Black Grille for it.

I just got a quote my dealer of €175 for original Black Performance Grilles.

Where does everyone buy them ? Main dealer ? or the likes of ebay ?

Also I assume the Grilles are the same pre and post LCI ?

Thanks.

usually dealers sell on ebay also for a much lower price... there is also this http://www.getbmwparts.com/ website not sure how much shipping will be to you...

Yes, only one M Performance grill for the pre-lci and lci. There's also one for the M5, with the double slats.

They're pretty cheap from Germany, but you might not save much depending on shipping and tax/vat.

Thanks lads.

Just bought these from ebay, hopefully they'll do the trick.
