where can i get the 335is black chrome kidney grille?

edindaclub · 07-23-2010, 06:58 PM

i just put a set of the matte black grille on my BSM 335xi today, but i am not quite satisfied with it, so I am looking for a set of 2011 335is grille, does anybody knows where i can get a set of it? if so , how much would it be?

You can call your dealers part department, they sell them and last time i checked they were 150 for both grilles.

They come on the new 335is.

if you want do what i did. pair the black ring from the new set, with the chrome slats of the factory grills. the slats are detachable from the ring. only difference is that yours will be matte while the IS is gloss.

I also want this IS grilles... seems like tischer bmw has them

Are you sure 335is grilles fit the 335i?

VTECaddict · 07-24-2010, 03:49 AM

335is grilles will only fit on E92 LCI (2011+). Your 2009 is pre-LCI and has different grilles. As mentioned above, you can just get some black grilles and swap the outer ring part onto your chrome slats to get the same look. Or paint the outer ring. Or vinyl it.

SV Concepts III · 07-24-2010, 04:12 PM

I think you are referring to the gloss black performance grills on the new E92s. You can order them through your dealer or just paint a set gloss black.

raceyBMW · 07-24-2010, 04:22 PM

Ebay has some, but the slats look different to me (look wider). Not sure how these will look.

Did you cover your window trim as well? I can't see from the pictures.. that's what I am thinking on doing

edindaclub · 07-27-2010, 07:07 PM

So let me clarify this, the 2011 335is grille won't fit on my 09 coupe, but the BMW performance does make the same grille for my car? I called the BMW Seattle and was told that they only have the bmw matte black grille, but I want the one exactly looks like the one on the IS, anybody could help out?

raceyBMW · 07-28-2010, 03:35 PM

I thought the IS has more of a black chrome grille, where the performance grilles were a gloss black?

E92-Lighting · 07-28-2010, 03:53 PM

it seems only the dealerships carry them for the meantime

I didn't have too. It came from the factory with shadowline trim.

oregondonor · 08-17-2015, 05:22 PM

It's my birthday and wanted to treat myself with something for my car. I love the look of the IS cars and my plan is to make my 328 and "is"

Tough finding the damn kidney's. Called three dealerships and they had no clue. They go right to the computer and all get the same info.

They are here: http://www.getbmwparts.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462

It's the only place I could find the correct grills (black with chrome slats).
