UPDATED WITH PHOTOS 4/28/15: F10 M5 LCI Look Grill

UPDATED 4/28/15:
Finally received and installed them! why did i wait so long!





I've been waiting for a set of these to get made and it looks like the replica market has come through finally. Has anyone on here tried these let? Curious how they fit and if they come apart or not

http://www.ebay.com/itm/11-14-BMW-F1...-/321599772935



It looks promising, no badge, a third of the cost of OEM and its gloss black.

Looks pretty good. It says it ships from Brea, CA...I wonder if the seller is a BMW forum member.

Noice! I wish it came with the tri-colore option, but I got some vinyl to fix that. In for 1. I'll let everyone know how it fits.

Since BMW doesn't make perf grills for active cruise cars I'm half tempted to buy these and see if I can get them to fit correctly since the gaps are larger.... or just have someone paint my factory's.

Is the M5 emblem attached to the grille or can it be taken off?

Ugh.. beware when buying. Mine said the location was from California but after a couple days of no tracking number I get an email saying that it should ship out today and I will get it tomorrow. Don't see how since the bloody thing is shipping out from Taipei!!!!! Tracking shows eta to be the 15th.... crap...

ditto. Will see the quality and if it isn't 100%, I am filing a ebay complaint. eBay is now forcing all sellers to comply with their 6 month policy.

Got mine in today. Looks promising! Will install tomorrow morning. Heading off to a dinner party and will be drinking copious amounts of alcohol. Hell, I may install them drunk when I get home!!!!
