LCI Aftermarket Grille?
Do the pre-LCI grilles fit the new models?
I’m not fond of the matte black finish on the new shadowline package.

I checked a few aftermarket grille options to see if they distinguished between pre-LCI and LCI—sadly, they do. From that, it’s reasonable to infer that the OEM equivs between pre-LCI and LCI aren’t interchangeable. 😒
You could always spray it or wrap it. I did this to my M5 and something similar to my current M8’s: |

Wrapping the outer in gloss black is your best & cheapest option for sure.

I'm not a big fan of the plastic look on my lci M850 but not sure how a grill swap or wrap will play with the grill lights on the lci. Then again I'm not sure I'm a fan of the grill lights.

My dealer eradicated the Cerium on my second build (first one was DOA due to the 2020 MY ZDX debacle). They made a customer for life in doing so and just took advantage of that to get ~9% off on the wife's unexpected 2024 X5 40i (Progressive deemed her 2017 X5 35i totalled after an accident). To give me a price I requested on the 40i they matched BMW FS' loyalty but actually trippled it ($4500) and then cut another $2K off as I was willing to put $57K down. My story on the Cerium eradication program. Ask your dealer as they can do the same in order to deliver true customer satisfaction and the holly grail of a future purchase. https://f92.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1682472 |
