eBay M3 Style Grilles Installed

jhuber · 01-04-2016, 03:32 PM

Just installed a set of matte black M3 style grilles from eBay and am loving how they turned out

Was a bit nervous with the price being so low but fitment was overall great, slightly loose on the bottom 3 clips but can't tell from looking and is absolutely secure.

What do you think?

I bought mine on eBay. Paid like $55 shipped. Fit perfectly.

jhuber · 01-04-2016, 03:53 PM

These ones were $59 with shipping.

Nice looking. Where is the small tab on the right side, where the ///M-logo was displayed?

jhuber · 01-05-2016, 11:40 AM

Was no tab on these ones

Actually look pretty good. Thinking of getting the iND version, but not sure it will look quite right. Maybe I'll pull the trigger now...

There is no tab. These are not OEM ///M grilles.

Ah, thats the answer why they are such cheap

jhuber · 01-06-2016, 07:09 PM

Yes sorry wasn't clear, bought them knowing they were aftermarket M style grilles, for the price difference I can't see why you would get the OEM ones unless you wanted the M logo

OEM grill will not fit the standard F30.

OP, those look great.

I'm thinking buying ebay ones but not sure if it fits perfectly.... do you have any cons or something that you don't like with ebay ones? Please let me know...

these are the ones I got and I have no complaints, all the clips lined up perfect. I really don't see any reason to get the more expensive ones if the ones you order are the same quality as these...
