The hole in the center is where the ACC sensor goes if optioned with it and the automatic transmission. This pre-production car has the plastic grate over the radiator that we have seen on a few other pre-production models. Was this car an automatic or manual transmission?

The G87 revealed in Spain at Valencia this weekend. It was announced that it will be the “BMW Award” for 2023. Once again the radiator has the grid installed on it.

Agreed. Probably from a 240 parts bin. You'd definitely need to swap that out with the MPERFORMANCE Alcantara armrest.

The Merino leather armrest of the G82 should be an easy retrofit.

Warranty will not cover it either. "Act of God or Mother Nature"
Hopefully "Radiator Grill Store (RGS)" comes up with a solution
Or zunsport… they have great looking ones for the F87

I would obviously never do such thing as bending the truth with my insurance company and such because I'm trying to get into heaven 😉 but I heard that if you let your insurance company know that the damage was cause by "airborne objects" striking your vehicle, as oppose with your vehicle colliding with road debris, it's considered a "comprehensive" claim as oppose to a "collision" incident. Huge rating difference, since comprehensive claims can't be surcharged and is classified as a "not at fault" incident. #TheMoreYouKnow
Solid advice

I don't see it on my App. That's why I keep posting things thinking they haven't been shared.

Another reason not to get the carbon pack. That would drive me nuts 🙃

I think it was not shared here yet. TR looks very pink here and the car is definitely not the one we already saw full of mperformance parts (or still not with the parts on).
