M-Color Grille Insert for F97/F98

teotwawk · 07-05-2020, 07:26 AM

Anyone knows where I can get the M-Color Grille Insert for F97/F98?

My GF's X4 M40i has one of this installed and it looks pretty cool:

https://www.amazon.com/M-Colored-Gri.../dp/B07RM2K6Y7

I was wondering if I can get it for my X3MC.
Did some search online on Amazon/eBay/Taobao but no luck.
Thanks in advance.

Likely can't find them because generally these 'covers' go on the right-hand side (when facing vehicle) and that's where the X3M logo is, so won't fit. Of course, you could put them on the left-hand side, but as noted, they typically go on the right. My 2 cents.

You could order it painted from IND-Distribution

Actually the ones in the IND page are mine and I don't use them.

Do you want to get those from me? Just the slats as I kept the painted badge and grille.

Dm me if so!

For the love of god don't. Unless you really really like it and don't care about other M owners or regular people judging you, then go for it.

All I can say is that every time I see an M car with it, I am just like why? My first thought is, Oo that's just a base model trying to look like an M, then notice it's an M, and am then just more disappointed.

Pretty sure the only thing that is universally hated on this forum is M stripes on grilles. Well that and the new G80 grilles.

So if you do M stripes on the G80/82 grille, is it like a double negative and make it a positive?

FrankieNuo · 07-06-2020, 08:20 PM

No, just no. We have enough M badges on it. If anything remove all the m badging and you'll be the ultimate "sleeper."

No because the seats are horizontal so that's a triple negative. Making it a negative.
