    Kidney Grille Replacement

    Hi All,
    Hey All,
    Long time lurker, first time poster here at BimmerForums but posting because I just bought my first BMW last weekend.

    I've purchased a 2014 BMW 535i xDrive M Sport. I'd like to blackout the kindey grille and the side gills but have had some trouble determining what parts are the correct parts. I went on to the Turner website and all the parts suggested said they only fit a 2011-2013 F10. I tried ECS and got the same answer... both places informed me via chat support that they did not have kidney grilles in stock that would fit my car.

    So... my question is.... where do I get the kidney grilles and side gills for my car?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to the forum man! I checked our site as well and couldn't find them for your car. You can likely get them from the dealer, as the black kidney grills are part of their Performance series; but they won't be cheap. Best of luck!

    2014 models are considered LCI (life cycle impulse), commonly referred to as a facelift car. BMW typically changes a few things to freshen the look while not having to build a whole new model. The grills and front bumper have been slightly updated which is why the 2011-2013 parts don't fit. Check with a local dealership. Some will offer 10% off for BMW CCA members.

    I believe all F10's share the same grills. I have the grills from my 2012 in my 2014...
