Carbon Fiber Grill
I installed the carbon fiber grill on my M8 this evening - problem is the m8 badge only came in chrome, and the rest of the car is blacked out; it's now literally the only chrome on the car...looks great against the Dravit Grey though.

Great mod well done. You can always get that M8 front grill badge painted in black or separately order the black variant (Part nr. 51138469499).

Having ordered the carbon grille BMW correctly sent the chrome badge. He has to order it separately as with the carbon trim/grille the associated part umber is standard chrome 51138469492.
The black one would then be this if you follow S7M9A: |

I want to install the same on my M850i but am not sure if it will work with the underlying active kidney or not. If it will I'd definitely go with the Shadowline grill and matching badge. Does anybody have any insight as to whether it would work on a M850i?

No, the M8 carbon fiber one will not work with the active grill that is on the M850i. The M8 doesn't have the active feature on their front end as everything is open behind the grill. There is an original M Performance carbon fiber grill variant for the M850i and the part number is 51712472045.
