Will the m235i grille fit on the m240i? I see many grilles on Ebay for the m235i but says will not fit the m240i. Also can someone suggest a place I can purchase the mirror caps and grille as a package.

2017 yes. 2018 no.

Timely thread. Sorry to ask for further clarification, but are you saying that the kidney grilles, specifically, are sized differently for 2018? I was just preparing to order black ones to have ready to install when my 2 arrives in a couple of weeks.

I'm curious about this as well. Earlier I was assured that the 2018 M240i front is same as 2017, as I'm getting XPEL put on the full front of the car next week. If the grille's different, do I need a new plan? They only have 2017 patterns so far.

Part number for the kidney grills for M Sport package are identical 2012-2017 for all F22 and F23 models. I highly doubt they have changed this for the 2018-model, but no info is available on realoem.com yet for the 2018 update. I have not found any information what so ever indicating that the M Sport front has been changed for 2018.

I have purchased the M Performance kidney grills for my soon-to-be-delivered '18 230i, we shall see if they fit when I get the car in 2-3 weeks

First I've ever heard about '18MY cars having different sized grilles?

In which one of the changes for the LCI are described as " It also gets new, larger Kidney Grilles, which give it a wider and more aggressive look."

I'm thinking that was fake news. Lot's of that going around these days.

Hi guys, I've used the m grill I had on my 2014 2 series to the new m240. Fits perfectly.
