Things should be a bit easier now that iND stocks the NV grilles.

I think I was the first to do this on both my F15 and F85, so I imported a set from Germany and had them shipped directly to iND. They painted them and I installed them.

My colleague at BMW in Aftersales explained that BMW won't offer an OEM solution for NiVi-equipped cars because of the cost of the camera, calibration, and other issues. The camera mounts to the grille, not the body, which could cause damage for someone who isn't being careful.

So talk to iND, or see if someone in your country can paint it for you.

XX66MM I did the same thing on my M6. Don't buy the painted aftermarket grills they chip and flake. Buy the BMW M Performance grills, remove your stock grills and then carefully remove the center insert from your NV equipped grills and use the black frame from your new grills to complete. I have a post somewhere on the M6 board exactly the same mod. Hope that helps. FYI I purchased two sets of painted grills from a reputable vendor and ended up sending them back due to chipping. Message me if you want more info.

This is incredible! Your M looks so amazing. I keep looking at the pictures. Makes me want to order a Long Beach Blue one myself. Absolutely stunning. Congrats and good luck with it!

Thanks Nick. Hard to imagine that one day I would live where I do and have the opportunity to own three amazing BMW machines.

Oh, I see what you're doing there.

Good luck today.

The diffuser looks great. Against the LBB, it really stands out.
