Can you post (or PM me) a pic of the line across the top of the grille?

I only have one other picture of the grilles on me right now, I'll be back to the house later tonight to take a better picture

The line where the top horizontal section meets the vertical side sections.

I think that's the perfect amount for black interiors. I have roughly the same (38% + factory window meters out to ~35% total). Like you say, the black interior makes it look darker than it is.

Not bad. If you're not keeping the rotor, just get a rubber hammer and bang away on the outer diameter of the rotor in a star pattern. It should break it loose.

It's the bolt that holds the rotor onto the hub so I can't even hit it off right now

Oh wow I never even noticed there was a line like that, assuming the kidneys are pretty different if the sedan doesn't have those lines?

:facepalm

I guess my brain just decided to read that part and said "fuck it, ignore it." I had seized bolts on mine as well. Just put some PB blaster on it and used a breaker bar.

It's a line that ECS puts in their mold assumably to avoid patent infringement since BMW makes gloss grilles now.
