Kidney Grille Color?
Hello, I have a black 2011 328 and I was wondering if I should go with the bmw oem gloss black kidney grille, an aftermarket gloss black kidney grille or a matte black one. I haven't seen too many in person so I do not know which looks the best. Thanks

gloss for the e9x platform and newer.
I have a jet black f10 with a gloss black (shadowline) grill and it looks great. matte was for e46 and older.

Gloss black and the eBay ones are just fine.

Get the BMW grills. Not a significant price differential between OEM and aftermarket grills. I got mine from forum sponsor getbmwparts.
http://www.getbmwparts.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462 $58 for the pair, genuine BMW. https://www.ecstuning.com/ES2702977/ Aftermarket is $59. Last edited by snaimpally; 12-05-2015 at 05:02 PM.. |

I got gloss black ones on my jet black car. It has the sport package so the rest of the car has the glossy shadowline trim. It made no sense to slap on matte black so I just went with it. I love how it looks and have gotten quite a few compliments on it.

Gloss black on my sapphire black e92. Makes it look stealth and matches the shine of paint work. I'd go matte black if I had white or blue but not a black or grey colour

I'm also looking for my black sapphire e90. Last week I saw what I think was an f30 m3, black with gloss black grill, but not even spacing of the slats. Looked really good. Was thinking of looking for something like that
