Anyone know where the best place to buy gloss black grills from? I chose gloss black over matte black becuase I think I'd like the way gloss black grills look with the gloss black shadowline trim and I want to keep my car looking as OEM as possible. I was going to go with BMW performance grills but they're over $100 ($55 for each grill) and thats almost half of what most sponsors offer matte black for. Thanks guys!

What makes them so much better than non-OEM? My sister said she was buying me BMW Performance grills for graduation now, so I might have lucked out.

Everyone has matte-black grilles, I couldn't find anybody who had gloss-black grilles, so I went OEM.

That's exactly why I want them.

Same here. It was gloss or nothing. And when my search turned up noone, I just went OEM.

Tischer BMW = BMW of Silver Spring MD = getbmwparts.com

They have great prices... somewhere between the indy mechanic and dealer prices...

Some parts places will price match Tischer... which helps... as the shipping from Tischer is a little pricey - and is independent of what you are buying.

Hehe... agree... we need to be looking at AutohausAZ.

Not seeing the gloss black kidneys on AutohausAZ. Unless I'm looking it up wrong, their part selection is seems to be limited to preventative maintenance and repair parts. Of which, they have an excellent selection.

Yeah....that's what I figured. We are still looking for our first "Mod" affiliate.

I can vouch for their pricing. I was looking for a part that's not available anywhere other than the dealer (passenger side mirror motor). Local dealer price: $200. Tischer price: $160's. Can't beat that!

The thing with Autohausaz is that they are mostly just maintenance and other more common parts as far as I can tell... You can't really get any mods from there, nor do they have certain items like the above mentioned door mirror motor, so for certain parts yes, but for others I would look elsewhere.

Its probably just a good idea to search there first. If they don't have it...oh well.
