Changing BMW M6 Gran Coupe Grill to newer version
Hey guys,
I was just searching the internet and I saw this salvaged car has the newer angled BMW Kidney Grills, does anyone know where I could get them? https://www.copart.com/lot/43856549 |

Those are standard 6 series grills. You can easily pick one off the sales forum here for under $100

That is not correct. These are the stock "black" grilles that can be ordered new with the car as an option. These are not aftermarket or modified in any way. I have these on one of my 6's. They look sharp on darker cars. Lighter cars, like white, look better with all black grills.

I am actually trying to get the single strip ones because it has that cool angle, sharp look versus the bland round look the M version has |

I'm slightly confused...if you have an M6, is there a reason you want to install the pre facelift (pre LCI) kidney grill from the regular f06/f12/f13 (grand coupe`/vert/coupe)?
The color of the kidney slats and surround can vary based on what an owner wants to do with them in regards to colorization...but the original design of the kidney grill's differences are the number or type of slats. The early versions have 10 slats, the LCI has 9 slats, and the M models have 6 double slats. The standard pre-LCI kidney grills for the non-M 6 series have 10 slats in each grill. The LCI kidney grills for the non-m 6 series have 9 slats. The M6 kidney grills have 6 double slats:

Haha maybe with all those posers putting M6 badges and grills on standard 6 series cars, he's trying to balance out the universe and restore order by putting grills from a 640 onto his M6?

Just to clarify...I intentionally didn't go into the various color combination & mainly focused on the basic 3 different "slat" designs...but you are absolutely correct that the M6 grills can come in all black (or all chrome or a varied combination):
