Performance Grills
The guys over @ GetBMWParts.com are starting to get their BMW Performance Parts in stock. I just ordered my black performance grills for my M235i, and I am really excited to install them onto my car.
Here's a link to what parts they have available.

Plasti-Dip will let you choose your color and finish and not be as smooth looking. OEM replacments are glossy on the outer rim if that is the look you want.

Same here, I have a set of winter wheels coated with Plasti-Dip and drove through 6 snow storms and all the chemical/salt treatments. The wheels look as good as they did after i shot them.

Wow, that's pretty amazing. After hearing that I may do my winter wheels when they get here before they are installed, keep them looking nice and fresh with a plasti-dip protective layer.

You guys ever try the plasti-dip brand brake dust cleaner? Any good? That would be another huge plus in the dipped wheels column if it works well.

Ooooh, got my black grills from the UPS dude last night, put them on when I got home from work. They look GREAT!!!!!!! In the immortal words of Homer J. Simpson ... Woohoo!!!!
Woohoo indeed... Way easy install ... so much easier than my E82. Check out the DIY over in the F30 Forum, it explains it very well. There are some slight differences, but you guys are smart, you'll figure it out. Thanks getBMWparts guys!!

Evan,
My kitty LOVES the OEMG bracelets, thanks man. I know they are meant to be worn, but he just loves playing with that little thing ... Two thumbs up on the cat toys

Order the Grills, Performance Steering Wheel, and Carbon/Alcantara interior kit tonight from Tischer. $50 and already discounted price was a good treat!

Since I have the MG color, once I get the factory grills off I will shoot them with matted gray Plasti and see how they turn out. Might like them better then the Gloss Black or maybe not.

Can you buy this http://www.getbmwparts.com/partlocat...catalogid=4462 and have the dealer install when picking up the car? How much would they charge?
