Really? If so, let me know from where as that's a bargain.

Are you talking about the open grilles, or the front grill trim?

If it the grill trim, I am interested in knowing too.
AFAIK, BMWNA blocked this from being sold in North America.

It most certainly is the most overpriced piece of plastic I've ever seen. I really want it, but even at $350, it's a tough pill to swallow.

Agreed...very overpriced for sure. I've got them, had them painted MW to match. Along with the open grilles, they really transform the front end IMO.

If we can get 5 people in, I can put together a group buy.

I too felt these trim pieces really completed the look of the M Sport grill. So I picked a set of them up from Ben at RG Sport on Wednesday. If my wife knew the price of these relatively non descript pieces of plastic, she would have me committed.

The problem is Ben's price is fair. I tried sourcing them from a UK dealership. The part numbers for the trim are 51118056867 & 51118056868 and I was quoted 360 € without VAT and without shipping for the pair. However this price also included the black grill sides. I had no need or desire to replace the grill sides.

The moral of the story is there are no easy cost effective short cuts to get these things. But they do look good on the truck.

Plus I got to meet Ben and hang out for a bit. I picked up one of his Carbon Fiber shifter console covers (outstanding quality) and a coding cable. And he steered the wife and me to one of the best Thai restaurants we've tried in LA...

I can order the pieces however the pricing is just as absurd as anywhere else:

51-11-8-056-868 TRIM ON GRILL, S 1 1 171.08 171.08
51-11-8-056-867 TRIM ON GRILL, S 1 1 172.67 172.67

That Carbon version is pretty nice, where did you find them or the pic? I have thought about getting them and wrapping them in CF but this looks much better

Of course I can have it wrapped in Carbon Fiber. But if you want a real pure dry Carbon Fiber, it will cost you a fortune just for a one off production.

And that CF looks like a vinyl wrap, not a real CF.
