I have a set of black grilles lying in my garage sins I have changed to titan colored grilles. So if you come to Norway I sell them for $ 175.

Look at realoem.com

And you can look up the part nos for various european models. Now getting the part from a US dealer is a problem. If you go to Ireland, It will be easier to by the part from the local dealer and bring it back as luggage.

They have some on eBay that you might want to check out.

You must be able to get a swap with a European forum member. Over here the black kidneys are only used on the smaller engined models to differentiate from their more expensive, larger-engined brethren. People here pay to replace them with the chrome ones.

The best BMW con I've seen yet is to offer black window trim as standard, include aluminium on M-sport and then charge extra to change it back to black again. Ker-ching!
