Anyone know if a black grill was an option for 2018 MY?

I believe the answer is yes based on the video below which appears to be a new 2018 M550 with a Black Grill at a BMW dealer.

Just curious, as you may know I swapped out the Cerium grill this weekend for a CF/Black grill and I am totally fine with the other Cerium bits. That said, I like to stay as stock as possible with modifications that were either offered as options or are official M-Performance upgrades, such as the CF CS spoiler I swapped in. I realize a CF grill was not an option, but close enough to black.

It is a factory option. Mine is a 2018 and came with factory black grills. Option code is Z06 off the build sheet.

Good to know. As I mentioned, just trying to stay as stock as possible. Or at least within the ordering guide.
