Painting the bottom mesh grill
Is there anywhere I can find the bottom mesh grills to purchase? I want to buy some, paint them, and replace my current set.

Why don't you remove your current ones and paint them?
Be careful not to break them because they're kind of fragile. If you wanna cheap out... Blow some balloons inside the bumper through the lower grill, then plasti-dip the mesh. |

Because it's really rather difficult to remove them.

Those will for sure fit my 335xi and are black? Where is the cheapest place to buy them?

Here is what I did :
First, tape around the outside of the grills and cover with paper. Next, get some balloons and push them through the grills and inflate them. Third, get some plasti-dip and spray the grills black. Wait 10 minits for the paint to dry and remove the paint and tape, pop the balloons and viola! Painted grills without painting the inter-cooler .........
