2011 E92 coupe black grilles

easy2speed · 07-26-2010, 09:11 AM

I ordered the matte black grilles from jlevisw.com because they said they fit the 2011 models, but they are actually about a half inch too small. Has anybody found any grilles that fit the 2011 models?

I will be taking delivery of an E92 LCI this week and plan on getting the BMW Performance grilles from Tischer soon after. They have a gloss finish though. If you want matte I have not seen any from any of the vendors yet.

Thanks, I just went and picked them up from BMW. You're right about them being a bit glossy, but so is the shadowline trim on the msport so it doesn't look bad.

The 2011 E92 (non-M3s) use a different style grill due to the facelift so the older style will not fit the newer models unfortunately. We will have the LCI grills soon though in matte black and painted.

Indeed, I prefer the matte look, but with the new gloss shadowline and mirror surrounds my car will have, it could only be gloss. Everything must be consistent

Is this the same for the 2011 E90s or just the E92s? I bought a set of matte black kidneys from you, Im just waiting for my 2011 E90 to arrive

The E90s were facelifted in 2009 so the 2009-2011 grills for the E90/E91 are the newer style. If you ordered the E90 LCI version, then you are all set.

The E92s received their update in 2011, this grill set is not available just yet but we will have them shortly.
