BMW Factory Gloss Black Kidney Grills for M550i

I have a set of Gloss Black, Single Slat Kidney (Active) Grills for M550i. They came with the car when originally purchased. I replaced them with Carbon Fiber Dual Slat Grills.

They are in perfect shape - no dings or scratches of any kind.

Asking for $75.00 + shipping (sold as a set). See pics below.

Just to confirm, these are pre-LCI grills?

They are. LCI is one piece, not two separate grills.

Thanks Joe. I'm interested but unable to PM the seller. Is it because I'm new user?

He's only got 13 posts too, maybe he can't receive them either. The way I look at it, if you are going to post something for sale, you need to monitor the post.

They are only $100 new from BMW. Probably a wash when you add shipping to his $75.

Thanks Joe, yes I noticed the OP was new too.

That's actually a little misleading from BMW 🤨. They're $106 each, so $212 for a set from BMW (confirmed by phone). Other OEM online retailers are around $165+shipping for a set.

Oh Jesus, I totally missed that. $165 isn't too bad.

I can receive messages just fine - I have been dealing in the background with a potential buyer for these grills and I just sold the Mirror Caps that way. I don't think the issue is on my end.

If you are interested, send me personal note via the forum like the other guys and I'll reply.

Regarding shipping, it's fairly expensive so I would budget ~$35-40. That's with insurance and tracking - likely with USPS. The Mirror's I just sold went across the country and was over 20 bucks in shipping. For those small featherweight items.
