I went through 3 different pairs of grills for my e46. Mostly from eBay. None fit well at all. Finally sucked it up and bought OEMs from BMW. Done.

When it came time for black grills on my e91, I went straight to BMW for those. Cost a little more but no problems with fit.

Yes, don't get eBay junk. I got a glossy pair from eBay but they turn to matte finish after a winter because the finish didn't last. Ended up buying a pair from someone on Kijiji who had them spray painted by a professional body shop in the same color as my car (BSM). Very happy now.

Got gloss black grills for my pre-lci e90 7 years ago from eBay (or Amazon...?) and they still look great!

$50 all in maybe, can't recall.

Ignore the skewed image, and all the bugs/dirt (road trip!), but this pic gives some idea of how it's held up after 7 years. Still glossy, you can zoom in and see reflection.
