Didn't see anyone who had changed the stock chrome grille to a black one on a non-Shadowline trim LCI G30, so thought I'd pioneer. Just changed mine out yesterday and got the OEM black grille from getbmwparts.com. Installation was very easy and took less than 10 min.

Thanks! It's Alpine White. I used to have a Bernina Gray M550i.

It looks fantastic. I do like it both ways (all chrome and all black). Now that you went for the black look, I would probably change the mirror caps to CF or black. Cheers.

Nearly $245.00 Got mine for a third of that price. Now I just have to wait for the car to be delivered to fit it.

I would like to do the same but I have the park assist. Does anyone know if the process is the same? Don't want to inadvertently pull the camera out or damage it. Can't find a single YouTube video or thread about it. Thanks!

Same process but of course different grille. And make sure before you pull the grille out completely that you disconnect the clamps holding the camera. I've done it on an X5 before and it was a similar process.

How do you remove the original grill!? V easy with the old/pre-LCI kidney grills, but I haven’t found the trick with my 2021 car. There are some clips along the top and sides that I can see and release without issue, but also some clips on the bottom of the grill that I can’t see how to get to.
Is it just a case of releasing the top/sides and then pulling and twisting the whole grill until the bottom clips release? I think I am too mechanically sympathetic… If anyone can explain, or point me toward any instructions on-line I’d be so very grateful. Thanks in advance. |
