eBay Double slat Kidney Grille set fitment
Hi All,
I have a g30 540i m-sport with black kidney grille, but these replica double slat(M5 style) kidney grille started to surface on eBay after F90 M5 debut, I really like them than the standard black grille that I have on my car, but I don't know if the double slat kidney grille will interfere with the active grille opening and closing, please see link, any input would be appreciated. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gloss-Black...%257Ciid%253A1

Sorry guys, but I have to share the bad news.
I got a sample of that grill from one of my source right after SEMA last year. Fitment is not that great, and I have to take off the active grill slats in order to install it.

Well depends on which manufacturer it is (usually from taiwan somewhere), some fits, and some doesn't. We have reported cases of bad fitment, but also good ones without any problems. |

That's why I always test fit a product before I offer them. Because some of the manufacturer uses recyled plastic where the outcome is not as good as new plastic.

I don't think you can manually open or close it, but when it's closed, the double slat grille will not fit, and you could brake the active grill.

Stupid question, what's the active grille? I don't have my car yet but I've purchased the double slat grille on Ebay. Is it the speed sensor for cruise control? I thought that was just the little black piece between both kidney grilles. Can you not remove the full black part of the kidney grilles to expose the area behind like on previous models? Thanks.
