I see you're in T.O.. so you have a bunch of options. Mike at Maranello BMW Ebay Extremeparts.ca (local store in Etobicoke) - ask for Gino Pacific Mall perhaps (same ebay stuff) Most e90post vendors also will ship them over to you.. If it were me - I'd go with ebay.

almost all the members here on this forum have black grilles... in both either gloss black or matte black.
that being said, there are also a gazillion members that have space gray e9x's. use this: http://www.e90post.com/forums/search.php it works.

I like piano black to match the shadow line trim on the M-Sport package.

Definitely not matte with space grey. Piano pulls off the look really well, especially if you have shadow line trim.

How interesting! I was on the search for a set of matte black for my iS and ended purchasing a set from Turner Motorsport. I wanted a matte black because I got bored of the piano black. I'll probably sell those in the next weeks. I should have a picture or two by next week (off).

I got the high gloss black grills with matte black slats from bimmian.com , they were kinda pricy but look great and good quality.
