M Performance F90 M5 Carbon Front Grille

BayDriverSF · 04-17-2021, 11:56 PM

I found the M Performance F90 M5 Carbon Front Grille for sale on these sites:

https://ind-distribution.com/product...ont-grille-set
https://www.bimmerworld.com/Body-Aer...ht-F90-M5.html

But when I look at the shape of it, it doesn't seem like it would fit into the outline of my current grille (pic attached). The grille on my M5C is not as pointy on the sides and has more of a square look. Also attached a pic of the product for sale.

How does this thing fit? Or is there something I'm not seeing? I see other problems in integrating the new grille. The original grille is a single piece with the camera pointing out in the middle. The replacement grilled is two pieces, which is fine except there is a black middle piece holding the camera, but I'm not sure if that's included with the new grille pieces.

You have 2021 LCI with updated grill that is different shape than 2018-2020 m5

I don’t think the LCI carbon grille is out yet. I’m waiting to get one on order.

The LCI grille is one piece, while the pre LCI is two. I don't think anyone has a CF grille for the LCI yet.

Can't wait to get one

It's out, I've just purchased it. Unfortunately it's only available with a chrome "m5" badge, instead of the default blacked out competition badge on the black kidneys.

That's awesome, where can it be purchased online?

I've ordered mine through Leebman24.de.

It didn't arrive yet, but one thing that's bugging me (just noticed) is that it doesn't have a hole for the camera.

Picked mine up a couple weeks ago ordered through the dealership. You can order with the camera hole however it only comes with the chrome M5 badge. Good news is the competition badge on your stock black grill can be swapped with 2 screws on the back of the grill.

Oh, that's interesting. Does the badge itself have a part number?

I'm not sure since I already had the one I wanted on the stock grill

Is there a part number for this black competition badge? Thanks!
