Well the number of E82s on the road is high, there should be a market, but yeah i guess too risky.

Gotta buy an M5 grill and fabricate it with super glue maybe hehe

Like it, LOL Robin

Last weekend I was at the ///M headquarters in Garching, saw the M4 IRL, of course in disguise, but OMG what a car, what lines.......and the double slatted grille which is just fabulous IMO.

Klepper1 · 08-13-2013, 08:43 AM

Someone else mentioned this in another thread, but could you make a grill look close to that by just cutting out every third slat?

I need this like yesterday...

+1. Like a hip hop star with a diamond tooth where he also carved his stage name on it.

I like how you can clean the slats of the original style with one finger and a cloth. To have the slats so close it would make for a PITA cleaning.

Dackelone · 08-13-2013, 01:19 PM

I like this look.

Nope, the dimensions are different, and the slats are thicker. Need to do sume measurements and decide if the grill can actually be fabricated out of the M5 one, or M4 as Ian mentioned in his thread

OrangeCrush · 08-13-2013, 03:28 PM

Those grills are awesome...make our seem boring now. And that green...I love that green!

Can84 · 08-13-2013, 05:24 PM

Perfect! i will try this with m5 grill

PeteA · 08-13-2013, 05:42 PM

Looks good. Wouldn't mind this at all.

NiceGuyEddie · 08-13-2013, 07:21 PM

Somebody needs to make these. Lots of positive responses. I would definitely buy them.

SukSqueezeBangBlo · 08-13-2013, 11:22 PM

Looks really nice, feels more updated.

TeinBMW · 08-13-2013, 11:30 PM

More pics!!!!! Looks sick man

Stratus650 · 08-14-2013, 01:24 AM

IND emailed on the possibility of fabricating these, lets wait for their feedback !

pousa13 · 08-14-2013, 02:00 AM

very nice idea...but I think very difficult in realising...

the 2013 M5 (only this has the double stabs) always has a little Edge on the top part...

I think the M6 kidney would fit better (if they do at all)

unfortunately, both kidneys cost around 160€ (at least over here in Germany) - so thats a little expensive for some experimenting
