Black Kidney Grills for GranCoupe W/O the M logo
Anyone seen em yet for '14 640i or 650i GC?
I called Turner Motorsports already in response to what they have. . . Their offering here has the m6 logo, and I'm not trying to be a poser: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-18...i-650i-m6.aspx Its actually incredibly misleading, as the pictures from the above link don't match up, the proper image is here where you can clearly see the spot for the "m6" logo: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/sear...earchId=572417 I just want my damn grills blacked out! Its a lease so I'm not dipping them either. . .

It's actually not the same as the M6. The M6 grille has contrast with a chrome lining around the outside. The accessory part is entirely black. I think the M6 chrome border looks better, especially on black cars, because it doesn't lose the entire detail of the grille. If you do all black grille on black car it just looks like a black blob since there are no contrasting pieces.

There's a reason they don't do it standard on the M models or any model. And of course they'll also sell anything in addition that people pay money for, which is why you'll be given the option.

No success thus far searching. BTW, is yours matte or gloss? I'd like to find a gloss piece to match the rest of the trim. Last edited by ///M3THOD; 02-16-2014 at 10:04 PM.. |

FYI I ordered the BMW performance grills from BMWUSA.com. I'll post pics once I get em and have a few mins to put em on later this week, before and after. . . The car also needs to be clean or else its camera shy, and with all the snow its impossible these days. . . They'll be up by the end of the week!

I'm not one to go for the murdered-out look whatsoever (and for the most part I dislike black wheels on a car, too) but IMHO, the all black grilles are just impressive... and increase the aggressive look considerably. Especially on a black, Singapore Grey or Mineral Grey BMW. YMMV.

Before and after installation of the BMW performance grills. They aren't actually flat black, the inserts have 1 black chrome strip on them each. I think it is the perfect match for the car since its got shadowline and there are still some little chrome elements around (BMW logo trim, door handle trim etc).

Link has the M6 style double bar grille w/o the ///M6 logo plate on them.
IMO the best looking grille of all the OEM looks. Available in matte black, gloss, and CF. You could make it look OEM by using the stock front grill piece as they split in half. http://www.autotecknic.com/category_s/143.htm |

I'll take pictures under better lighting so you can see the difference more, from the same angle as my first two OEM chrome shots. I also think I prefer the double slat look.
