I bought this black grille and am not happy

tshoww · 05-25-2012, 07:33 PM

So I bought this black grille without noticing it looked like this and was wondering what you guys think of it. It doesn't sit flush and I can't believe I missed this when ordering....

http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/E92_...ille/ES518034/

this is what I really want it to look like (see picture below)

Opinions please

Those are the 6 series style grilles for the e92. Go to the vendor section and just find someone selling e92 black kidney grilles. I reccomend jgmods!

d3UCE818 · 05-25-2012, 07:42 PM

it doesnt look terrible but I wouldnt do it. Just paint your stock grill with plasti dip..

E90Mario · 05-25-2012, 07:55 PM

I hate the 6 series style grill, I don't even like it on the 6 itself. It just looks so awkward to me. I think you should return it or just paint your current chrome ones black!

CPWINCH · 05-25-2012, 08:06 PM

those look so awkward

Isn't that why the website has pictures, so you know what you're paying for...

It's basically an E90 grill on an E92

Slow_335i · 05-25-2012, 08:37 PM

I did the same thing, ended up throwing them away painting my oem grills.

I think they look like crap.

Yeah JGMODS is what made me realize mine aren’t right theirs aren’t over priced either.

Yeah I’m going to look at the DIY and go get some plasti dip, do they make gloss and matter?

Yes ECS Tuning did nothing wrong it was me not paying close enough attention because I just go the car

I came from an e90 so that may be a reason why I didn’t notice this before I bought

Well since I can still get a refund I’m going to return them but how did you paint yours with plasti dip or spray?

This is what they look like on my car :////

pimp4cheddar · 05-25-2012, 09:24 PM

Thank you sir will these fit an e92? It doesn't specify

E90Company · 05-25-2012, 09:58 PM

Looks bad. Glad you are returning

wdeerfield · 05-25-2012, 11:50 PM

$4 can of spray is all you need

I primed and painted. I may end up redoing them in plasti-dip only because the paint keeps chipping off because of rocks. A friend plasti-diped his grills on his 6-series and they last and look good.

BMWBlackout · 05-26-2012, 12:30 AM

www.bimmian.com bought my grille from there and they painted it the same as the car.

dayoshiman · 05-26-2012, 09:28 AM
