Black kidney grills

Powaup · 02-11-2014, 04:04 PM

How long until black kidney grills become available for the F8x? Aftermarket or OEM

That's the first mod that will be done for my car. I think it should be standard or an option from the get go but I guess BMW thinks otherwise

I'm sure they will be available almost instantly (OEM and aftermarket).

Sedan_Clan · 02-11-2014, 04:07 PM

They are available now. It's the same pieces from the 4 Series.

Ahhhh, good point. I haven't seen it up close and personal so I'm not sure. Could be a clip on?

Maybe one of the auto show guys took a closer look.

from what ive seen and based on memory its a little notch that the emblem goes on (i think but i could be wrong)....maybe this will be stealth mode.

The standard 4er Grilles are different due to the specific detailing of the bars and insignia of the M Grille. A specific grille will be available.
Details will be known shortly.

I WANT DETAILS NOW

lol. I'm losing any sort of patience that I should have. No details have been released in awhile now.

The natives are restless.

The Natives must learn to be patient.

Brosef · 02-11-2014, 05:34 PM

doesn't the regular 4 series only have single bars? I thought the double bars are the new M specific design.

Forgot about the side markers might go carbon fiber for that. still undecided if gloss or matt black for the front grille... if I paint the rims matt black might look better having a matt black grille... decisions decisions

I wonder if there will be CF splitters offered like the e9x had

dhoggm3 · 02-11-2014, 07:48 PM

Looks as if the ///M just clamps/clips onto the front grille. Can't tell from my photos if the grille is recessed for it or not.
