Black Kidney Grills for F13

I did some searching, followed some links, but am still unsure. I have had only a few good experiences with eBay parts, and that is where most people buy them. Obviously, I am looking for black kidney grills, with the M6 badge, that are of known excellent quality. Can anyone point me to the correct part?

My car: 2016 Singapore Gray Coupe.

Get it from iND, you will pay more but will not regret it.

Congrats on the new ride.

There is a dealership that sells OEM Black ones on eBay. That's where I got mine. Can't remember exactly which dealership, but it was in Southern California

Yes, for consistent quality, IND is the aftermarket maker of cosmetic parts. To clarify, IND makes it clear whether you're buying the version that they painted themselves, or genuine BMW version.

I and many of us bought the genuine BMW gloss black grills. These grills were offered as an option on a new car build. It was also offered at the parts counter at dealerships and other aftermarket suppliers.


Pro tip: If you want good pricing on official parts, Google BMW PNP part search, look up the BMW part numbers, and and put it to see where the cheapest dealership supplier is.

I ended up buying my black grills off of amazon but I was really only interested in the outer trim piece. I bough cheap grills and placed my OEM grill slats that are black with the badge into the new black outer trim.

No eBay is not what most people's choices. The fitment from eBay is bad bad bad.
There are a lot of cheap options: rw-Carbon IND and autotecknic. I got my CF grill from autotecknic and you won't regret it

I purchased mine off of eBay, which was recommended by another member on here and they fit perfect.
