    Where can I get gloss black grilles?

    My chrome grilles are falling apart and I'd like to order a set of gloss black grilles.

    I had a pair bookmarked on ECS but looks like they no longer produce them. Searched Khoalty and Bimmian but no luck.

    I see that the left side BMW performance grilles are still available for purchase from ECS but no right sides available anywhere.

    Does anyone have a lead on a pair?

    Pretty sure they are discontinued now. Might be difficult to find them unless a dealer has a pair in stock.

    Darn, I'd be ok with aftermarket as well so long as they fit properly and don't look hideous.

    Maybe I'll pick up some chrome ones when I get to the dealer today to get my car.

    Yeah it sucks. Any BMW Performance parts for the e46 chassis is becoming harder and harder to find.

    I reached out to Tischer BMW and got this response:

    Thank you for your interest - unfortunately, these have been discontinued by BMW and are no longer available to order. We do not have any in-stock inventory available of these either.

    Our apologies for the inconvenience.

    That sucks but thanks for checking.

    I got into the ZHP too late. When I had my 01 330i the parts were plentiful but many parts weren't for my year.

    OK, the solution I decided to go with.

    Get the ECS Gloss black kidneys with the motor sport blue, purple, red on the left grille. Order the left side BMW performance kidney to replace the kidney with the motor sport colors from above kit.

    My hope is that the gloss quality matches between the two or if anything I'll just run the ECS set and leave the blue purple red or figure out how to remove it plus I saved $40 vs getting chrome BMW grilles.

    I was browsing Bimmerworld and saw they had gloss black grilles still listed on their site.

    However they are out of stock - hopefully not discontinued like many of the other retailers.
