OK I just noticed something after seeing this pic 100 times -- the grill is black but with a silver border. I know you can buy all-black grills, but can you get these as well?

you can just mix the normal grill with a black out grill. The grills are actually two parts.

Aha! Thanks, man. Had no idea, heh.

We get this grill on non-6 cylinder models, ie both diesels and the 120i i believe

JTdrivin1 · 05-22-2008, 10:33 AM

Yep. Only the 135i gets the chrome/shine on their grills.

imo this look is much nicer than the all black. but i can't decide if its nicer than the 135stock grill. btw, the 328/335 have the same type of grills, respectively.

AW with shadowline surrounds and chrome bars. Yummy

moff · 05-28-2008, 08:09 AM

That's the standard grill on all non 6 cylinder BMW's.

I personally would keep the stock 135i grill as it distinguishes the car as 6 cylinder or change to full shadowline.

Jumpman · 05-28-2008, 10:43 AM

Err, but the 128 is a six-cylinder...

Most other countries don't have the 128i, in other words NA engines (everything but 135i and 135d) receive black inserts.
