Can you take before and after pictures when you install please?

kokhaine · 11-18-2018, 01:12 AM

I’m receiving my X3 on the 27-28th of Nov. will post pics. Have also bought the Carbon Exhaust tips from AC Schnitzer for the 30d.

SROC3 · 11-18-2018, 03:02 AM

Still not available in the US apparently......do post pics when done!

FCBayernFTW · 11-18-2018, 03:43 AM

That seems really cheap compared to what I recall the F30 MP Kidneys.

RichM50d · 11-18-2018, 03:47 AM

Finally! I’ll order mine tomorrow.

SROC3 · 11-18-2018, 01:31 PM

Maybe they ship to the US?

kokhaine · 11-18-2018, 02:08 PM

yes i believe they ship worldwide. keep in mind they always apply some sort of discount on all products, in this case 20% off MRSP.

if you dont speak german then Google Translate is your friend

GT500R · 11-18-2018, 02:15 PM

Interested in pics, I feel that they will clash with the mirrors and side fender accents that are originally found on the grille (M40i)...

kokhaine · 11-18-2018, 02:30 PM

Actually, they are pretty much the same as the one IND are selling in glossy Black. I believe that you should go either full cerium Grey like the M40 versions or go full Black including grilles + fenders + mirror caps if you want to.

mixing both colors will definitely be awkward

I don't think it would be too terrible. It's already got black trim around the windows on the M40i... Black grill wouldn't be bad....

From the picture, the finish on the Genuine M Performance grills look to be a matte finish (similar to the Cerium Grey finish but in Black) not gloss.

I think it will be standard BMW gloss. M perf usually comes out with the gloss first if anything. Then offer Matte options later on. Also, if you look at the lower bumper valance, all the black bits in the picture are the exact same "black-shade." I'm also pretty sure they are gloss since when you Google translate it reads:
"BMW M Performance Parts front grille black high gloss X3 G01 X4 G02"

Just ordered mine too. If anyone's curious - $165 (includes shipping to U.S.). That's 50% less than what IND is charging.

I will take pics once installed. I have a 30i on order (arriving mid December

) and I'm not planning to black out my mirror covers. The lower portion on the mirror housing is in black and the top cover will be in Glacier Silver like the rest of my ride. Sorta same effect as my signature pic on my m4......well at least I hope so

As for the color mixing of the cerium + black + body color bits = my take on it is that if you have a lighter colored car it might look off and a bit funny. If your car is black then it would work fine......black grill and cerium everything else.

Too much facts there to not agree with you - are you a lawyer?

I'm pretty sure you're right

bsperry92 · 11-19-2018, 08:48 AM

Great find! I just ordered mine for my Mineral White 30i.

KAP8 · 11-19-2018, 09:01 AM

I wonder when they will release M Performance Parts in the USA.

Good find, but are you certain they're genuine BMW? Seems strange that they're selling them with discount and before BMW even lists them let alone has them for sale!

kokhaine · 11-19-2018, 10:02 AM

Baum bmw is a very trusted seller in Germany. They have a few dealership and they have heavily developed their internet sales a few years back. Have already ordered m performance steering wheel as well as other items for my previous car.

RichM50d · 11-21-2018, 01:09 PM

Has anyone received theirs yet? I assume that the slats are black, but can’t tell from the pictures.

kokhaine · 11-21-2018, 01:20 PM

Just received them today. Glossy black as the other original black grilles. Cant wait to put them on my newby
