G20 grill options?
Hello, I have a 330i xdrive and was wondering what grill options are out there.
Any M style black grills? Thanks, Mike |

From what I've seen these are the different grills available:
- Chrome surround w/ black slats (standard on 330i sport and M) - Chrome surround w/ chrome slats (standard on 330i luxury) - Gloss black surround w/ gloss black slats (port installed option on 330i and M340i). - Cerium Grey surround and grey mesh bits (standard on M340i) - Gloss black surround and black mesh bits (not available in US, but easy to buy and install). Personally I swapped the stock grill on my M340i with full gloss black mesh grill similar to the one sold in the Canadian market. It was pretty cheap and install took about 10 minutes. I don't see any reason why it won't fit a 330i but I love this style.

One member here made his own by disassembling and swapping parts on two OEM grilles. BMW might make this combo OEM as I have seen what look like car show pics with it on a BMW display car. Or, eBay has a version. Last edited by PersonaNonGrata; 05-10-2020 at 01:49 PM.. Reason: Added picture |

Kies Motorsports has another version of the black vertical slotted grill but has the more traditional double slats. Pretty nice looking but is always out of stock.
I'm actually surprised more aftermarket options haven't come to market (particularly something with a thinner grill surround).

How hard is it to change these on the G20? It is just 1 piece now I believe. Last edited by Boostin335; 05-11-2020 at 03:57 PM.. |

Removal and installation is easy. It is one piece. If you wind up with this grille, share where you got it and how it turns out. The examples I see on ebay are usually like a chrome silver instead of anything even close to Cerium. At least a satin silver or gray would look better than chrome look....

Correct it's the version that supports cars with the park assist plus (a cut-out for the camera)
There is a version of the grille for cars without the camera as well

I don't really like the vertical rib of the fins behind the grille of the M340 ... but the grille of the M340 is beautiful. Do you see them as much in reality as they do in photos? I find conflicting photos on how it renders in reality. I'm undecided between the M340i's black honeycomb grille or the M Performance black slat grille. What do you recommend taking into account the rib of the vanes behind that I don't really like to see it?

ste0108 ,
My car came with a grill of burnished chrome diamond with a Cerium Gray surround. While it contrasted the body color, Tanzanite Blue, the Cerium Gray just didn't look right to me so I went about changing all the Cerium Gray items for Gloss black. For your consideration, here's my before and after pictures. Hope that helps!
