How can I get the 330 chrome grill for the 325

camiloE90 · 06-16-2005, 04:09 PM

I hate that my new 325i doesn't have the chrome grill that the 330 has...i want to get that put on. Anyideas on how to do that?

Thanx

Go to dealer and buy them

Or you can spend $7 bucks and do it yourself. This pic is from RachelS's car and here's the link to that thread.

none of the older BMW's had a chrome grille,
I think it looks better black. People used to have to pay extra to get a M3 or sport pack to get the blacked out side trim like on a 325.

how much does it cost to get it done by the dealer

Camilo, just get it painted the same color as your car. What do you think of that?

paint wont work cause my car is black...plus the chrome will really make the front stand out i think.

I think svengali meant to black out the entire kidney grill area for a mean blacked-out look. I've seen this on E46's and when done right it looks great. But chrome looks good too depending on what look you're going for. I think the 6.99 option is worth a shot.. at worst you waste 7 bux if you don't like it but it looks pretty good in that pic!

Agreed..i will try the $7 option...nothing to lose

Did you do it, if so how do you like it?

If you haven't done it do you have any more pricing information on getting this from the dealer?

go to bmwusa.com build a 545i and check out the sport package... they actually charge to take off the chrome... so be proud of your "non" chromed out threetwentyfizai

LOL If it's so great not to have it why would they put it on the higher end 330i?

Anyway since it's such a great thing who wants to trade grills with me?

I was interested in this as well. What Rachel did looks great and for that price why not.

Before I did that though, I had to check out how much the 330 grill costs and it's not too bad.

Here is the info from realoem.com

01 GRILLE LEFT CHROM 1 51137120009 $30.80
01 GRILLE RIGHT CHROM 1 51137120010 $30.80

You can have the OEM chrome for only 60 bucks, not too bad.
