Black Side Gill Vents

[Nasmo]

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Hi Guys,

New on this board, but put it immediately to my favorites because I've read how much enthusiasm you guys share!!

So I am a guy from Belgium, picking up my M5 next week in .. London ;-)

I want to kill al the 'bling' stuff on the car so my intention is to ASAP
swap kidneys
Other exhaust ( black or carbon endings although I am an akrapovic fan, this time the akra can't convince me)

now I hope one of you guys can point me to the best solution for the side vents;
Wrapping? IND aftermarket? If so where can I buy them?

Thanks

Next week I will post my M5 and details of the car

greets

Nas

Welcome to M5post! What color is your car going to be?

Here's some recent threads others have asked the same question about black grilles and gills.

I'm not sure, I ordered the car through export sales, and till now I didn't get any info where to pick up the car. I understood it isn't the same place where my contract person is located.

Keep you posted, will ask it tomorrow ;-)

I have to pick my car at BMW Group Ashford , Kent

Apparently I missed an attachment!
Now only trouble is the VAT customs documents, our Belgium postal services screwed it up, so I had to send today by express service the documents again :s
However I was told that upcoming weekend is a sort of extended holiday weekend? Correct? So it will be all limit limit for thursday to pick up the car. But I have to .. only free day in my working schedule ..


sorry guys for ff topic:

On topic, if some of the IND guys on this board could help me for the side vent (point me to an euro supplier perhaps?) would be great

GREAT car, love the individual colors!!

Your side vents are exactly what I want!! Are those wrapped or OEM parts?

If so It would be great if you could give me part numbers, so I can ask the guys from Broadoak Ashford to order and place them!

[phish_100]

ok so i have asked my guy what the part number is. It's OEM.

GREAT thanks Phish!!!

[phish_100]

ok so this is what I got from my guy...

"These are the parts numbers:

B51.13.7.903.879.880
B51.13.7.903.879.879

This is the original parts from BMW and the Black option was a custom order specially for me. The BMW body shop customised it for me.

My dealer supplied new ones and then had them customised Matt Black as a one off. High gloss black grills from BMW Performance parts will be available later this year as seen on the performance edition. "

hope thats useful.
