Hi. New member here.
Waiting on delivery of my 530D G31 and the only thing I want to do is change the chrome front grill for the gloss black but I'm a bit confused as some state that they aren't suitable for cars with Active shutters. Do all G30/G31 have active shutters?

Also, any recommendations from U.K owners on where to get them from??

Welcome to the group and looking forward see pics of your car.

You can buy gloss black grill and it will fit straight on shutters without any issues , shutters are behind the grill so grill doesn't affect them at all

if you have front camera then make sure to buy grill with camera hole .

hope this helps .

Go with OEM M-Performance gloss black grill for your model year (LCI or Non-LCI). All G30's have active shutters and single slat OEM grills will work fine with them. It's the double slat M car grill you need to stay away from. Those will either interfere or will look stupid with the active grill behind it. The F90/M5 does not have active grills.
