Does anyone remember the E60 front grilles? How they were in two pieces (the surround and the grille)?

Are the F10 front grilles the same way?

If so then I should be able to just order the chrome LCI grilles and swap my surrounds from my black chrome front grilles into the LCI grilles.

Anyone know if the F10 M5 LCI grilles are two pieces?

Good news. But, it's just a theory. Fitment between pre-LCI and LCI might not be compatible. I am going to give it a shot though.

Sure, then you can pay me for my answer. Just kidding I'll let you know. I hope it works.. I'm sure BMW can only produce the M Performance Grilles so fast and first priority probably goes to the factory. Then second to a back log of people who ordered them. Sounds like months away from a decent supply.

I too have been thinking of ordering the pre lci black grilles and seeing if our twin slats will fit onto the black surrounds.

I can't believe BMW designed and tooled new chrome surrounds for new grille. They will surely just be a twin slat version of the old grille?

In that case, I can't see any reason why all parts would not be interchangeable, black or chrome surround fitted with lci (twin) or pre-lci slats

Anyone got thoughts on this?

Nope ... apparently dealer states a delay with Germany ... they state they are currently in transit .. hopefully will receive them next week ... gotta get rid of the ugly stock 550 LCI grille

Won't work for me because I have N/V and there is no LCI N/V around.. yet. It's not as simple as transferring the N/V part as N/V grilles and non N/V grilles are different.

Someone without N/V should try this idea though. They just need to buy another full set and have some patience.. but it should work. Just have to be careful with the clips.

I ordered mine in the UK with a dealer. I did however order using the part numbers rather than phoning up and asking for the part by name.

I'm stupid as a donkey reading this stuff... Does it mean that the M Performance LCI M5 (51 71 2 352 807 and 51 71 2 352 808) comes with or without the M5 badge (51 13 8 059 945)? Or is it just the stock/chrome M5 LCI grille that you can remove/not order the M5 badge?

I am looking for the M5 LCI gloss black grille without the M5 badge. Thank you to anyone trying to figure this out for a fool

Not understanding all the badge hate. I thought it paid homage to M cars of the past that had the grille badge.

For some it's a bit too much. Already have an M badge on the rear and both sides.
