I don't know in the UK but here in the US I just ordered from the dealer and they were shipped to me in 3 days. Parts numbers are: 51-71-2-165-528 (right) and 51-71-2-165-539 (left). These are BMW OEM black grills for the 2011 F10 - mine is a 550i and they fit perfectly. I paid US$129 delivered.

Yet another dealer telling lies! The performance grill has been available for some time in the UK as I had it fitted to my 520d that was delivered in the final week of Nov. They work out cheaper than painting!

Has anyone on here tried getting their oem grilles sprayed gloss black to match shadowline trim? If so how much did it cost?
Also, 1hot BMR, which dealer dealer did you get it from that was $129 Shipped? I was quoted $99 each side at my local dealer. |

Don't spray the oem grilles because they will chip much easier than the oem - not worth it. I got mine from Jason at getBMWparts.com - a BMW dealer in MD. I believe he is a sponsor here or at bimmerfest.
